Best & Worst Performers
This overview shows you the best and worst performers in our investable universe.
Worst performers
The cheaper we can buy great companies, the better.
The biggest decliner this month? Insperity, losing nearly half of its value.
 |
Insperity is a professional employer organization (PEO) that provides human resources, payroll, and benefits administration services to help small and medium-sized businesses manage their workforce.
Insperity fell so much due to a major earnings miss and rising costs:
They reported a surprise loss of $0.60 per share, which was worse than the already low expectations.
This was mainly due to healthcare claims for the employees they manage being much higher than expected.
Their guidance also came in below analyst estimates.
Best Performers
DaVita was this month’s best performer, rising 48%!
 |
DaVita provides kidney dialysis services and comprehensive care to patients with chronic kidney failure through a global network of outpatient centers.
Its stock jumped so much because their Q4 results were significantly above what Wall Street expected for both revenue and profit.
On top of that, they issued guidance that was much higher than analysts anticipated.
