Summary

  • Much healthcare investment attention is dominated by COVID-19, but other needs persist, including diagnostics provision and research. One investor asks about QIAGEN’s current prospects and competitors.
  • Going to investors’ bottom line, the Reward-Risk tradeoff, Market-Makers in performing their essential role for big-volume institutional investors daily make forecasts of those dimensions.
  • Here, we examine the price forecasts implied by their self-protective hedging actions when facilitating volume block-trade transactions for several stocks, including those competing with QGEN.

Investment Thesis

QIAGEN, N.V. (NYSE:QGEN) is an active investment alternative in competition with dozens of other medical diagnostic enterprises. Success from an investment point of view relates more to increased stock price than lives saved or retirement prolonged. That measure here rests importantly on already developed and proven capabilities. The comparative forecasts of well-informed securities markets pros are an important tell-tale.

Those defined expectations provide an array of comparable evaluation measures, based on how actual market prices have previously behaved when risk and reward have previously been seen in their present balance.

Peter Way Associates provides daily updated, near-term (3-month) price range forecasts for over 2,500 widely-held and actively-traded stocks, ETFs and market Indexes. Comprehensive results are available on the SA blog of my name.__These forecasts are derived from the way market professionals protect their own capital placed at risk while helping big-money portfolio managers adjust their holdings in multi-million-dollar "block" transactions.__ They cannot be found elsewhere.__Having these price-change prospects available on a continuous basis encourages individual investors to actively and economically build up the values of their own smaller portfolios. PWA only provides information for individual investors; it no longer manages investments for others.__Rates of portfolio capital growth being achieved by subscribers are at MULTIPLES of the growth in market averages, due to the efficient use of holding period time and the compounding of gains a number of times each year.__Risks of capital loss are protected against by insightful selection guidance and holding-period-limit disciplines. The advantages of good selection and careful timing amply cover a much smaller portion of unavoidable losses.__These Market-maker forecasts have several decades of demonstrated productivity. Earlier in the 20th century they were used by large institutional portfolios, and now in the 21st century they are available only to individual investor wealth-building portfolios. Thousands of day-by-day identifications of specific securities having consistent, odds-on profitable results rule out any likelihood of their exceptional outcomes being due to chance. Peter F.
