The healthcare industry is thriving with companies determined to use innovative approaches to develop quality treatment options for patients around the world. As the demand for innovative healthcare approaches increases, the opportunity for companies to invest and develop new technologies to improve the quality of care for individuals does as well. The healthcare sector and its stocks are often viewed as safe havens by investors during times of market uncertainty, so last year’s “correction” in the S&P 500 could be a reason that healthcare companies were some of the top performers of 2018. Last year, we also saw a trend that seeks to reduce healthcare costs by creating a single entity that offers both medical and drug benefits which could carry into the new year, stimulating the sector with further M&A activity. Overall, many believe that 2019 is likely to be another year full of fresh innovation and technology.
