ATL is 3.35. 3 year low is 12.79 which was made recently. ATH 57.94.
Another dialysis company that is not based in the USA, so as a rule there would be no dividend. Dialysis is not going away unfortunately and these dialysis sessions 3 times a week will always be covered as far as I can see. I worked in this field and the patients consist of folks with a diagnosis of hypertension and diabetes for the most part, but not always. I would see an occasional glomerulonephritis etc.
Most of the patients in this area were non-compliant (not all) and there was a definite race domination to the point of 90%. This may be different in another region versus the southeast.
No recommendation.

There will always be a company to dialyze those with kidney failure and there are very few companies who provide these services. The sessions last 3 to 5 hours depending on the person's size and are done 3 times a week. Extra sessions are necessary if a patient drinks a six pack of beer that day or if he/she overdoes it on their fluid intake between sessions.

2-14/Cup forming/Earnings date differs from site to site but is late February/Gap overhead
Well, given recent price movements, I honestly don't think this scenario is possible. There is no clear visual representation of the structure.

@TradingStat, It would not be a fast trade and perhaps an investment in something that is never going away unfortunately/good luck to you.

Do you Think it is a good buying opportunity now ?

@danieltouma, I think it is undervalued right now and I bought some for my IRA. I will watch it and buy in increments. I just noticed the decline recently. I also own DVA. I do not think either will move a ton in a week or anything. Slow movers as a rule. FMS headquarters is not in the US, but they have plenty of clinics in this country. Maybe watch it for a few days. Some things are going on with reimbursement in this field, but this type of medical care will always be reimbursed. I do not think a lot of people understand how essential these services are. If one's kidneys do not work, the blood has to be cleansed artificially using dialysis or the person will die within a week or so due to toxins and fluid overload as they are unable to urinate in most cases.
Good luck.
