Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By CARLOS ARANCIBIA]

    Hi-Tech Pharmacal (HITK), another drug manufacturer, is forming a shapely cup-type base. Despite strong sales, earnings, margins and return on equity, the stock is thinly traded.

    On Wednesday, Hi-Tech topped expectations for its May-July quarter. Earnings surged 59% and sales 43% as generic pharmaceuticals sales jumped 52% for the quarter. Sales of its generic version of the allergy treatment Flonase more than doubled, thanks to both higher unit sales and average price.

    The medical sector has fallen to the bottom fourth of IBD's sector performance readings. It had been in the top five of 33 earlier this year. But the sector still has some pockets of strength. Ethical drugs and generic drugs are in the top 25 of 197 IBD industry groups.
