First I appreciate your response. You answered my original query about whether DGX (or anyone in that space) showed up on a value screen. From your POV it does not. This is a value thread so my next comments might be a bit off topic.

The reason LH and DGX showed up on my radar was a certain continued "giving up" by the professional community. Basically contrarian. In order to have a truly contrarian stock everyone needs to hate it. Fundamental, technical, value and growth (well in a perfect world). I think in particular DGX would qualify. Your comments on stagnation, low growth, questionable non organic enhancements for earnings have appeared in written reports and published opinions all over. IOW its all in there. I'm not trying to call the turn as much as be invested for that turn. Time being my usual foe.

Now I've stated that I try very hard not to buy when a stock pierces year lows, but if you have a value at which this would be a classic value buy candidate I'd be pleased to hear it.
