Among all the Healthcare stocks ISEC Healthcare rank among the cheapest in term of PE and yield. It is now attractively price at 31 cents. This stock has potential to growth its top and bottom lines and will eventually resultant in the increase in its share price. These are the following reasons:
1. At 31 cents it is trading below prospective 20x PE & ex cash just above 15x PE. ISEC therefore rank the cheapest of all the Healthcare stocks.
2. Over past 3 years from 2014 to 2016; profit growth from $2.0 million to $6.487 million, increased of more than 200%.
3. FY2017 - Q1 net profit = $1.664 million & Q2 = $1.95 million, quarterly compound increased of 17.2%
4. FY2017 dividend yield should be about 4%, @ 31 cents. FY2016 dividend paid out was 0.99 cent yield = 3.2%. FY2017 dividend most likely increase from 0.99 cents to 1.2 cents, yield .9%. (Calculation base on 75% dividend paid out) ISEC is a potential “perpetual dividend raise”.

7. Asset-light, strong cash flow business model.
8. Ability to replicate business model which features state-of-art technology across markets.

I believing it’s a good times to accumulate ISEC shares. The catalyst for the share price will most likely comes from 3rd quarter result in November 2017 in one to two months time. With threats of war coming from North Korea, ISEC being in healthcare business should be a good pick.
