Stock looks way oversold on the monthly chart.
Firm has managed to maintain a strong balance sheet.
The dividend will be a strong calling card here.
From a long-term perspective, Healthcare Services Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:HCSG) has never been this oversold since the year 2000. We can see this on the monthly chart below. The question is whether shares will bounce back and print new highs or has the multi-year upward trend come to a grinding halt.
When evaluating potential value plays, we invariably look at the company's present financials, debt, earnings profile, and dividend. If all of these areas stack up successfully, then the recent decline may only end up being a speed bump instead of a multi-year decline.
Currently, Healthcare Services Group trades with a forward earnings multiple of 18.1 which is well behind the industry average of 58.6. The group has a sales multiple of 1.0 and a book multiple of 4.2 which again are well behind the averages both in the industry and what Healthcare Services Group has traded for in the past.
Stockholders equity continues to increase at the firm. At the end of the June quarter, $450 million was reported in equity as opposed to $260 million in combined liabilities. Suffice it to say, the group has a very strong balance sheet as equity continues to trend in the right direction.
Although operating profit has slipped somewhat, it still comes in at $102 million over the past four quarters. It is important that our value plays are turning a profit especially when the respective firm pays out a dividend to its shareholders. The group's operating profit is down about $25 million since its peak in 2017.
Healthcare Services Group has now grown its dividend by 16 years. The yield at present is just over 3%. The dividend can definitely be one area of concern for the bulls especially if it is not based off a solid footing. A dividend cut, for example, usually results in a lower share-price - at least in the short term. Let's see how it has been trending.
Although paying an above-average yield in this industry, Healthcare Services Group's dividend growth rates have been on the wane over the past decade. Its 10-year growth rate comes in at 7.16% whereas its 1-year growth rate has slipped to 2.6%. Dividend growth is important for a number of reasons.
It enables shareholders to get a piece of the pie with respect to growing earnings.
We have no problem with lower dividend growth rates as long as the funds saved are put to solid use. The earnings are certainly there to cover the dividend at present. Over the past four quarters, $1.14 was generated in earnings per share whereas $0.78 per share was paid out in dividends. In fiscal 2020 and 2021, consensus is predicting $1.34 and $1.59 in earnings per share. Suffice it to say, we see no issue with dividend viability here at present.
On the weekly chart because of the recent upmove, we have a buy signal on the MACD indicator. The further away this indicator is from the zero line, the better the signal. Nevertheless, we also had a buying signal on the weekly chart back in June of last year when the 4-week moving average crossed above the 9-week and 18-week. That signal ended up being a false dawn. This is the difficulty in picking the bottom of value stocks. From our research, the lower this stock goes, however, the closer it will get to a multi-year bottom.
To sum up, we will know in the weeks ahead whether price has printed a firm bottom in Healthcare Services Group. For now, we are going to run with that MACD weekly crossover. Let's see how this plays itself out.

Heres the Loony liberalJanuary 4, 2010
I was married to this loony liberal who went and got the courts to believe her lies about suffering depression, SHE HATES America and wants it remade in her vision and she believes in a farce called global warming but yet wants the tax payers now to bail her out on her home mortgage because its causing her to suffer depression again……….
Its a shame that the people that call her a friend do not realize that she just uses them to justify her personal needs, to make her feel superior
Be sure to visit her site it borders on being mostly inane because of her hatred……..
AdvertisementsThere was a little of everything in this week’s round of 16 games, the first knockout round of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The USA loss was agonizing to watch (at least for USA fans), England and Mexico got screwed (at least they got an apology, so that’ll help — NOT!), and the Paraguay v Japan game was boring as hell until the shootout.
Of these four matches, the bookmakers have Spain as the largest favorite, while the odds on the Argentina v Germany game suggest that this will be the most even of the matchups.

Derby head to Ipswich fourth in the table and firmly in the thick of the promotion hunt with six wins in their last eight games. The one goal they have conceded in a remarkable defensive run was Callum Connolly’s fifth-minute header in our rescheduled game at Pride Park at the end of November.
“We are a focused, organised team who play for each other.” The 43-year-old former Burton and Birmingham manager took charge at Pride Park last March and has impressed fans by creating a balanced team playing attacking football while also being built on strong defensive foundations.
“We don’t change a winning team unless we have injuries.” Rowett named an unchanged XI (above) for the third successive game at Hull on Boxing Day. He has kept the 4-2-3-1 shape which he used in his time at Birmingham, with Matej Vydra operating as a deep-lying striker behind David Nugent.
“The team is set up with defensive full-backs in Craig Forsyth and Chris Baird along with two holding midfielders. We shouldn’t be shocked by our defensive record.” Rams view Richard Keogh and Tom Huddlestone as decent footballers who balance the defensively solid Curtis Davies and Joe Ledley.
“We frequently use the full width of the pitch.” Rowett has used the more physical Bradley Johnson on the left of midfield to protect Forsyth. Wide right is seen as Andreas Weimann’s best position as he is able to stretch defences, and he has developed an effective partnership with Chris Baird.
“The link-up play between Nugent and Vydra is working and on that basis Gary is right to persevere with this combination for as long as it’s working.” Nugent’s industry and movement creates space for the deep-lying Vydra to exploit. Impact substitute Chris Martin’s style of play is seen as too static.
“Hull have improved under Nigel
