BancBoston Robertson Stephens senior health care and business services analyst Sheryl R. Skolnick today maintained her Strong Buy rating on NovaCare Employee Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: NCES - news). The company is one of the largest Professional Employer Organizations in the country, providing human resource management and benefits outsourcing to small- and medium-sized businesses.
''NCES today reported an all-around stellar quarter, with earnings per share of $0.08, versus $0.05, up 72 percent on a 22 percent increase in shares, in line with our estimates,'' said Skolnick. ''The company beat every one of our line item estimates, except for our earnings per share estimate.''
''This quarter validates our confidence in this management team and its operating and marketing strategies,'' said Skolnick. ''New contracts with large customers and pilot programs with large insurance companies are going well. The core small business base, though, continues to generate the lions' share of earnings growth.''
