Looking ForwardDR earned $0.30 US per share in Q1/20
First quarter 2020 started off strong before the facilities were impacted by COVID 19 in March," said Robert O. Horrar, President and CEO of Medical Facilities.
This was despite the fact that surgical cases saw a sharp decline in in the latter half of March and into the second quarter before reaching near full operational status by late june. In addition, the opening of St. Luke's Surgery Center in St. Louis was delayed due to COVID 19, but that center will expect start performing cases in the this quarter.
So, for the second half of 2020, I see DR earning at least $0.60 US per share, an annual rate of about $1.20 US per share or about $1.60 per sharein CAD.
That means that DR is trading at less than 3 times net earnings, less than 1/3 of its peer valuation multiple.
Paying a nice dividend while we wait, I see at least $10 by exit 2020.
