Seeking Alpha: CareFusion's Strong Share Isn't Quite Enough

CareFusion (NYSE:CFN) is an interesting company in several respects. A leader in important markets like drug dispensing, infusion, and respiratory care, the company's margins and returns on capital are nevertheless not really "leader-like". What's more, there are some reasonable concerns as to whether the company's business is skewed too heavily towards capital equipment to facilitate good long-term growth. I come down basically in the middle - I like CareFusion's business well enough, but the weak ROICs and explicit intentions to be active in the M&A market lead me to demand a bigger discount to fair value before buying with my own money.

The Motley Fool: CareFusion Corporation: A Mid-Cap Med-Tech Leader

A lot of attention has historically been paid to CareFusion Corporation (NYSE: CFN  ) in the context of its place in the infusion pump oligopoly with Baxter (NYSE: BAX  ) and Hospira (NYSE: HSP  ) . There is a lot more to this story, though, as the company is a leader in medication dispensing, pre-op skin prep, and respiratory care. The acquisition of Vital Signs from General Electric will add scale in respiratory care and anesthesia, but leaves the company with enough dry powder to continue making additive deals. CareFusion is not a slam-dunk bargain, and there aren't many of those left in med-tech, but it is a name worth consideration today or at least a spot on investor watchlists.

Seeking Alpha: CareFusion On The Right Path

This recent melt-up in the market has left relatively few undervalued opportunities in the med-tech sector. While there are still some bargains to be had at the various market cap levels, it's not altogether unfair to say that anything that looks notably cheap today is cheap for a reason. With that in mind, it's not so surprising that CareFusion (CFN) shares don't offer huge upside from today's level. That said, I like the moves that management has made here and if the market (or med-tech sector) were to sell off significantly, this would be a name well worth considering.

Seeking Alpha: CareFusion Deserves Another Chance

By and large, it's hard to feel sorry for, or be patient with, companies where the wounds are largely self-inflicted. Still, when a company has significant market share in multiple markets of size, investors would do well to keep an eye on the story. To that end,
CareFusion (CFN) has disappointed investors recently, but the long-term potential of this company is still quite a bit more than is reflected in the stock today.

Not Many Surprises In The Second Quarter
Given that CareFusion warned about this quarter's results, there weren't a lot of surprises in store when the final results came out. Revenue rose a bit more than 3%, with organic revenue up a little less than 3%. Growth was led by a fine performance in Medical Systems; revenue rose more than 9% on solid growth across dispensing, infusion, and respiratory. Procedural was the problem child - sales fell 2% on an adjusted basis as decent ChloraPrep results (up 5-6%) were offset by weakness in various disposables.
