Healthcare Takeovers Expand Market Share Cheaply
In addition to being quick, takeovers are also a cheap way for healthcare companies to expand their market share.
Consider that the average healthcare stock now trades for roughly 12 times earnings – a bargain, considering the average stock in the S&P 500 trades around 20 times earnings.

Chindex International Inc. (Nasdaq: CHDX) shares are up 13 percent to $13.59 with nearly two times average daily volume traded as of 10:45 a.m. Eastern. The company appears to be benefiting from strong earnings results from Intuitive Surgical Inc. (Nasdaq: ISRG), which beat expectations and increased its procedure growth guidance for 2009
