Comparing $DGX (a company I can’t find a reason NOT to buy) and it’s peers today, came across $LH. This is how I find a lot of great companies, the peer comparison tab on Seeking Alpha. I’ve never come across companies so statistically equal on so many growth/profit/valuation metrics. Quest pays a dividend though, still one of my favorites in the sector and overall. A P/E around 9 & EV/EBITDA around 7 is absurd. So, Quest is still looking like a buy to me.

Any opinions on Quest Diagnostics? It seems like one of those common sense buys that’s easy pickings (where the little Warren Buffet on my shoulder is screaming at me to buy something). Looks like a well established, profitable company selling at very attractive valuations. I’m okay with stability, don’t require growth as much as most. With $10 billion in revenues I’m okay with stability and industry position over growth, that’s just kind of my basic philosophy. More of an established value weighted, over growth weighted, investor.
