ESRX: Bull or Bear?
Express Scripts Keeps Rolling Along
ESRX
-7.11%

(closed on 03/14/11)
Filed under: Stocks to Buy  The positive story continues with pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts Inc. (ESRX), which I first wrote about on June 9, 2009 at a 2-for-1, split-adjusted price of $31.82.
In fact, the uptrend has been so impressive, Express traded at/near $56 on Friday, those in since June 2009 may wish to consider taking some profits off the table, to say the least. It never hurts a portfolio to take a portion of a roughly 80% gain.
Those who can tolerate the risk can maintain their full Express position and go for an even larger gain, as ESRX is likely to continue to head nor...

Filed under: Newsletters, Stocks to Buy, Obama Picks  "One thing that will continue to play out -- regardless of the direction of health care policy and law -- consumers and spenders of health care dollars need to spend less," notes Neil George.
The editor of The Pay Me Strategy explains, "One solution for more efficient spending comes from Express Scripts (ESRX), which is right in the thick of the issue of prescription drugs and drug costs. The Saint Louis-based company is one of the leaders in pharmaceutical benefit management.

Express Scripts: Well-Positioned for Earnings Growth

Filed under: Stocks to Buy The shares of pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts (ESRX), which I first wrote about on June 9, 2009, at a 2-for-1 split-adjusted price of $31.82, remains a play with promise. Express's 2010 revenue will likely vault more than 80% on new accounts and the NextRx PBM purchase. Express is in a "prescription sweetspot" of sorts: an aging populace, plus a likely renewed emphasis on health and wellness in the United States, and the possibility of federal, health care reform legislation, bodes well for many health care players, and pharmacy benefits managers. <><>Continue ...

Filed under: Newsletters, Stocks to Buy "Pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) are the main distributors of drugs to retail pharmacies and directly to consumers; in our view, the PBM sector is a must-have health care area for investors," says Stephen Leeb.
The editor of The Complete Investor explains, "Express Scripts (ESRX) is a leading and fast-growing pure-play PBM that has been generating impressive results and is undervalued relative to the industry.
"One striking health care trend in recent years has been a dramatic rise in prescriptions. For the 10 years ended in 2009, according to a govern...

Filed under: Stocks to Buy  As forecast in March, pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts Inc. (ESRX), first discussed on June 9, 2009 at a price of $63.64, has zoomed to $100, and it may be at $110 before long. I obviously still like the shares.
How much upside remains? Considerable. Look for Express' 2010 revenue to zoom more than 70% on new accounts and the NextRx PBM purchase. An aging populace, plus a likely renewed emphasis on health and wellness in the United States, and recent federal health care reform legislation bodes well for many health care players and pharmacy benefits manage...
