Are These The Best AI Health Care Stocks To Watch Now?
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has given rise to health care stocks, or more specifically, AI health care stocks. One thing that we learn from the pandemic is the importance of data. Why do we say so? The collection and use of health care data in a coherent manner could help patients in meaningful ways.
Since the pandemic, there has been a rise in unemployment figures, but markets are going in the opposite direction. This can be attributed to fiscal packages by governments across the world. Despite improving unemployment data in May, the optimism appears to be temporary. This came as fresh waves of cases have been erupting in the United States, China and Brazil.
From the pandemic, many companies have reported huge revenue losses in the first quarter of 2020. With so much uncertainty lingering around Covid-19, many companies have withdrawn their guidance for the full year. Some even refrained from reiterating the previously positive notes. With that being said, is there anything left for investors and traders to be hopeful about? While growth has taken a backseat for many industries, investors should take note of the huge prospects the virus has opened up for AI health care stocks. For this reason, are these AI health care stocks on your watchlist now?
