The healthcare
sector is one of my favorite sectors behind the consumer goods sector. I love
stocks from the medical equipment and appliances industry. Sure they offer a
lower dividend but most of the stocks are major diversified in terms of international
sales and they have a wonderful growth perspective.
Stocks
from the whole healthcare sector have a total market capitalization of USD
66.298 billion. The average stock from the sector has a P/E of 26.63 and yield
at 3.32 percent. These are very attractive figures from the earnings
perspective. Debt is also high with a long-term debt to equity ratio of 88.63.
As a result, the return on equity amounts to 17.61 percent.
