3 Healthcare Stocks I'd Buy Right Now
The healthcare sector hasn't exactly ignited investor enthusiasm lately. Stocks in the sector returned 13.3% on average in 2020, which isn't a bad result. But they underperformed the overall market as represented by the S&P 500 Index, which returned 18.4% last year.
Looking at averages doesn't tell the whole story, though. The healthcare sector in particular is incredibly diverse, from small companies on the cutting edge of science to giant "defensive" stocks that tend to outperform the market during downturns.
Following are three stocks I think will outperform the market over the long term. Two are early-stage companies with that are growing rapidly, and one is more established but is available at a bargain price. I own shares of the latter and I intend to buy the other stocks when Motley Fool disclosure rules allow me to do so.
