Note
Active Longs/Shorts are high conviction ideas that we’ve either presented a Black Book for already or have one in the works (similar to other Hedgeye teams). Bench or Bias ideas are ones in which we’ve done the bulk of the
work, but there may be another question we need to answer to move it over the line. All active positions are higher conviction than bench ideas. We rank active versus active and bench versus bench.

Disclaimer
Hedgeye’s “bias” represents Hedgeye’s outlook on companies currently under Hedgeye’s review, or for which timing is not right for greater coverage. Hedgeye may or may not provide further commentary on any or all
companies represented on the bench and representation of a company on the bench does not forecast whether Hedgeye will or will not issue any additional material on that company.

Estimate Revision Trend is Decelerating
Past the peak for the post-COVID19 recovery
We transform the next twelve-month
revenue estimate (NTM) across our
universe of Healthcare companies into 2
vectors that describe growth and
acceleration.

The output employs a standardized


Recovery #Slowing  method to describe and compare
estimate trends for revenue, EBITDA, and
EPS.

This chart displays the average of the


estimate trend across our Healthcare
universe and assigns a one of 4
microquads based on the +/- positioning
of the two factors.
Peak COVID19  After a sharp Microquad4 downturn, the
impact from COVID19 peaked on
4/16/2020, marking the beginning of the
fundamental recovery.

As of 11/5/2020 has transitioned into


Microquad 3, lower probability of
positive performance and lower average
performance compared to Microquad 2.

The sigma chart coordinates for growth/acceleration (1st and 2nd Derivative of the estimate trend) is associated with a forward price
return over the following 1M and 3M. For each of our Position Monitor stocks, we’ve calculated the average forward return within 0.5
STDEV of the stocks most recent estimate growth(x) and acceleration(y) coordinates. We also compare the actual and expected
stock performance over the trailing 1 month to look for instances of over or undershooting the probable outcome.

Healthcare employment and demand for labor bottomed in April 2020 at -9.5%. The recovery is stalling at -2% year over year
decline in the aggregate, although subindustries such as Nursing Homes are faring far worse than other subgroups such as
Dentists and Chiropractors. Wage inflation has been substantial for a host of reasons.
