What to look at in healthcare
Revenue can hinge on a handful of patents or a single approval, so consistency matters more than the latest quarter. For pharmaceutical businesses, look at how much of revenue depends on products facing patent expiry. For device and services companies, margins are usually steadier and comparisons are more meaningful.
