A healthcare sector play without the political risk

112
I posted the other day about how the healthcare sector would be a good defensive play in October but for the political risk faced by health insurers and pharmaceutical companies. Well, here's a company with great financials and none (or at least less) of that political risk. SMED is a medical waste disposal company, and its services would still be in demand even if the US passed a universal healthcare law.

SMED has an 8.8 Equity StarMine Summary Score and is rated "Undervalued" by the fundamental analysts at S&P Capital IQ. It's a little high in its RSI channel right now, but it still seems to be uptrending. I expect it will soon retest its recent highs at 4.46-4.48, and if it pushes above that level then it could get a nice breakout. SMED utterly destroyed analyst expectations on its last earnings report and has plenty of room to run.
