Commentary:


 

The best large cap industry is drug stores (OCR, RAD, CVS, WAG). Profitability will benefit from growth in patent expiration and a larger insured population, which will also boost front end sales. Lodging (WYN, MAR, HOT, H) offers opportunity as demand is leveraged for RevPAR growth. New supply is unlikely to weigh down pricing dramatically this year.  Increasing deliveries boost aerospace/defense vendor (TDG, BEAV, HON) sales and profit.  DoD budget clarity and overseas sales support contractors (GD, RTN, NOC, LMT).  Semiconductor is in its seasonally most attractive period, buy specialized semis (MCHP, NVDA, LSI, XLNX, SCTY, ALTR).  Wholesale drug companies (CAH, MCK) round out our best scoring large cap industry list this week. Opportunities tied to specialty drugs and cost containment support revenue.


 

Large cap basics score better than small cap. Buy ag chemicals (CF, DD), drillers (CLR, HP, RIG), independent oil & gas (RRC, ECA, SWN, XEC, DVN, CHK), and oil & gas equipment & services (SLB, HAL, CLB, CAM, BHI). The top scoring consumer goods baskets are auto parts (BWA, LEA, JCI), beverages (TAP, CCE, DPS, MNST), and textiles (VFC, HBI, NKE, UA, PVH). REITs (PSA, FRT, SLG, ESS, BXP), life insurance (LNC, SLF, MFC), and credit services (MCO, DFS, EFX, AXP) are best in financials. Every healthcare industry scores above average, focus on healthcare plans (AET, UNH, HUM), biotech (ILMN, CELG, MDVN, BIIB, GILD), and medical appliances (STJ, ISRG, ZMH). Every industrial group scores above average too. Concentrate on aerospace/defense, diversified machinery (FLS, XYL, PLL, IR), and farm & construction machinery (JOY, HTHIY, CAT).  The top services industries are drug stores, lodging, drugs wholesale, and rails (UNP, NSC, CSX). In technology, buy specialized semi, communications equipment (GLW, HRS, DTV), semi ICs (SWKS, MRVL, BRCM), and business software (JKHY, DOX, FISV).
