7 Healthcare Stocks Deliver Innovation in 2021

We all knew that traditional health services would be disrupted in 2020. The relationship between patient and doctor became virtual. In the early months of the pandemic, many people who needed elective surgery simply did not have this option. And even local pharmacies were taking on a new e-commerce role as roadside collection or home delivery of prescription drugs became the norm.

Unsurprisingly, healthcare stocks were beaten last year. Overall, the sector fell 11%, well below the S&P 500 index, which rose over 15%.

However, the market is always future-oriented and pays special attention to innovation. There are many companies in the healthcare sector that are developing innovative approaches in areas such as gene editing. Other companies are in late-stage trials for drugs that can deliver breakthrough results for conditions that continue to plague our world.

That is the focus of this presentation. We have identified 7 healthcare stocks that deliver innovative ideas that help drive better patient outcomes. And in some cases, medicine will revolutionize the whole thing. These are also the stocks that analysts are watching.

Check out the “7 Healthcare Stocks That Will Innovate in 2021.”.
