Valuation multiples for many growth stocks have not yet reverted to their early 2021 highs, but the market has been optimistic as of late due to a soft landing. This is an economic situation where rate hikes successfully quelled inflation but did not send the economy into a recession. Furthermore, recent rate cuts and Donald Trump's triumph in the 2024 Presidential election have been tailwinds for the market, and while some of the medical devices & supplies - imaging, diagnostics stocks have shown solid performance, the group has generally underperformed, with share prices down 5.4% on average over the last month. Lantheus is down 15.7% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $133.46 (compared to the current share price of $82.89).

While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
