Market View

U.S. indices continued to move higher this week, with the big move coming on Thursday. Leadership is gradually emerging, but major support for this move is still coming from lagging sectors (Energy, Basic Materials, and Transportation) and a recent surge in defensive sectors (Utilities and Consumer Staples).

Dorman Tops Aftermarket Auto Partswith Flexible, High-Quality Line

Dorman Products, Inc. , a manufacturer of “new to the aftermarket” automotive replacement parts, is extending its product
line and driving growth. In 2013, the Company introduced 873 new parts, many from brand-new product offerings, to meet demand arising from both the increasing complexity of automobile engineering and the expanding number of makes and models on the road. We see these lower-priced, formerly OEM-only parts as a unique competitive advantage for Dorman that should provide several more years of growth in revenue and earnings—and stock out performance. We rate this stock as a buy.

Fewer Uninsured May Buoy Successof Team Health Holdings

The policies of the new Affordable Care Act (ACA), widely known
as Obamacare, will be fully implemented in just under one year.
Companies that have been serving uninsured patients will now
have a strategic advantage under the new policies and will begin
to reap the benefits of this reform. A Congressional Budget Office
(CBO) study suggested that 30 million of 56 million uninsured Americans
would gain insurance under the ACA by 2016. The CBO estimates
roughly 17 million would become insured through Medicaid
and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) expansion, with
the remainder insured through newly created exchanges.1
Of several companies that could directly benefit from the changes
brought about by the ACA, particularly the large increase in
insured patients, Team Health Holdings, Inc. is the standout
among the Commercial Services-Healthcare group, according to
our research methodology. The stock is showing a rise in sponsorship
over the last four quarters, an EPS rank of 94, double-digit EPS
and revenue growth, and a chart setup in perfect technical position
for further gains. On March 20, 2013, the stock broke out from
a second-stage flat base with support off its 10-week moving average
on very heavy volume.
