LH - Laboratory Corp. of America - "slips on lowered guidance" Company now see "adjusted" earnings of about $11 for 2018. That puts the p/e with today's stock drop at 13x. Ten year median p/e is 16.6. ROE has danced around, often though over 20%. (A possible Greenblatt stock now). As discussed here previously, those same business risks apply: competition from both entrenched players and new entrants, plus willingness/desire for hospitals to do testing/screening themselves internally. I add a few shares to my position (first add since 2014). finance.yahoo.com
