The screen: Drug makers, medical devices, and diagnostics — durable demand and strong returns on capital, from profitable biotech to device compounders.
How this ranking works
Every healthcare company in our US universe is scored on the same transparent quality-growth model — one 0–100 score that blends business quality (margins and returns on capital), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (what you pay for them). The table below ranks them by that score, highest first, and re-scores every trading day.

What sets Healthcare apart
Of the 9 sectors tracked here, none averages a lower Quality score, and that is the most distinctive thing about this list.
No other sector scores lower on the median name than this one does at 37.3, which is worth sitting with before reading the ranking as a buy list.
One name does a lot of the work here: the top of this list sits 51.2 points clear of its own median, among the widest such gaps of any sector.
149 of 295 land in the model's speculative bucket, among the highest shares of any sector, so this ranking sorts risk as much as it sorts quality.
Top of the sector: Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (HRMY)
Across the 205 Healthcare names with a reading, the median forward earnings estimate is roughly unchanged — +0.9% over 90 days, in line with the market (+0.5%). Opinion is close to evenly divided — 95 up, 55 down.
Estimates implied by price ÷ forward P/E, captured together each trading day since June 2026, and outside the Bull Rankings score. 205 of 295 members carry a reading; the rest have no forward P/E to imply one from, which is normal for loss-makers. How this is measured, across the market →
