Year Ahead Outlook 2020 – Top Ideas: XRAY,
LH, IQV, and CHWY
Life Science Tools and Diagnostics | Sector Forecast
We continue to view less conventional names as an attractive play in healthcare, particularly as
we head into a US Presidential election year, where healthcare access and drug pricing will
remain key topics of debate, driving heightened headline risk and volatility for associated names,
including
Drug Distributors
. In this context, we favor
Animal Health
, a sector inherently
shielded from traditional human health dynamics, where underlying fundamentals remain robust
on healthy pet adoptions, “humanization” of pets, and market-expanding innovation, with the
embrace of new alternative channels also offering support. For
Dental
, our focus is on renewed
innovation efforts, which should offer company-specific catalysts, particularly relevant in a still
lackluster, albeit seemingly stabilizing, North America end market. Meanwhile, biotech funding
levels remain elevated, a trend that should support growth across larger, diversified
CROs
,
offering attractive, alternative biopharma exposure, sheltered from binary outcomes inherent in
drug development. Lastly, across our current
Life Sciences & Diagnostics
cohort, we favor
companies with more diversified platforms, which should offer multiple levers for growth. Below,
we summarize our best ideas across our broad coverage universe heading into 2020.
■
Dental Top Pick
—Dentsply Sirona (XRAY): XRAY’s management has demonstrated
building traction on its turnaround story with an aggressive restructuring plan and stepped
up innovation now more meaningfully materializing as we head into 2020, and we view it
will continue to reap rewards from these initiatives in 2020 and beyond.
■
Animal Health Top Pick
—Chewy, Inc. (CHWY): As the leader in pet e-commerce,
CHWY is well positioned amid a robust pet care industry, with an expanding customer
base, unique customer engagement, and considerable Autoship adoption supporting strong
recurring revenue streams, with line of sight to (adj. EBITDA) profitability in 2020,
leveraging its technology and expanding product offering, along with its ramping scale.
Importantly, we make no changes to our positive bias on
Zoetis
as an industry leader,
where momentum should continue on innovation catalysts bolstering an already immensely
diversified global portfolio with high visibility on growth and strong cash flow characteristics.
■
Contract Research Organizations (CROs) Top Pick
—IQVIA Holdings (IQV):
Bookings of $5.8 billion merger-to-date related to its Next Gen Solutions should contribute
to more meaningful topline growth, ahead of industry, with recently unveiled medium-term
guidance calling for +6-9% organic growth from 2019-2022. While it has clearly set lofty
LT growth goals, we view it can leverage its unmatched data assets with its size and scale
to capture greater share, while also boasting a relatively diversified customer base.
■
Life Sciences/Diagnostics Top Pick
—LabCorp (LH): We view multiple avenues for
growth across LH’s diversified platform, despite continued headwinds in core clinical
laboratory services, with CRO drivers and strong cash flow generation offering capital
deployment flexibility, particularly relevant given its role as a leading consolidator of smaller
lab operations in a post-PAMA world.
We are adjusting target prices across specific companies on various factors including regulatory
overhangs, demand dynamics, and company-specific factors.

Underlying demand dynamics remained perplexing in 2019 following a couple years of notably
lackluster growth, with overall consumables trends, particularly in the US, still lagging behind
what would be expected in an improved macroeconomic environment. That said, we are
beginning to see
signs of stabilization
across the underlying end market, with constituents
posting slight year-over-year improvements in 2019, a dynamic we expect to continue into
2020. Meanwhile, equipment trends were mixed in 2019, with improvement across pockets of
the market driven by benefits from an IDS year and relative
exposure to meaningful
innovation
, where constituents such as Dentsply Sirona are beginning to reap rewards from
focused R&D efforts.

innovation efforts), with potentially strengthening, albeit still moderated relative to historical
trends, performance in 2020. Overall, we remain positively biased on the dental market in light
of favorable longer term demographics, with notably less exposure to US policy uncertainty
plaguing more traditional healthcare names, particularly as turnaround stories more meaningfully
manifest.
Theme #1: Renewed Focus on Innovation Offering NT Upside/Catalysts
Following several years of internal disruption driven by mega mergers (
DENTSPLY Sirona
) and
management turnover (
Patterson Companies
), as well as lack of prioritization as part of a
larger entity (
Envista Holdings
, prior to
Danaher
spin), meaningful innovation across the
dental markets remained seemingly out of focus, exacerbating an already lower growth
environment. That said, management stability and reinvigorated prioritization initiatives across
core constituents has been an encouraging dynamic, where we highlight XRAY’s turnaround
efforts are gaining traction under new management, while NVST is now positioned as a more
nimble, standalone entity following its spin-off from DHR in September. As we head into 2020,
renewed focus
on the development of more meaningful innovation should drive an
acceleration in growth across targeted segments, particularly as dentists are inspired to increase
capital outlays in order to adopt the latest technology, a dynamic that should also benefit
traditional distributors.
In terms of high-tech equipment, the
digitization of dentistry
should remain a supportive long
term tailwind for the market, particularly given 43% of practitioners still do not utilize newer
intraoral impression scanners or CAD/CAM technology, according to our YTD proprietary survey
work (see note Survey Says: Dental Demand Remains Subdued). That said, penetration has
been limited by high required cost outlays (e.g. too expensive), limited ease of use (e.g.
complexity), and inadequate education efforts. However, more recent notable innovation by
discerning constituents (XRAY’s Primescan; NVST’s KaVo X Pro / X500) across the digital
impression market attempt to
address key sources of friction
, with focus on enhancing ease
of use with gesture control capabilities and captive touch buttons, reducing scan times, and
supporting increased interoperability with open-architecture systems, with some offerings also
focused on addressing cost (KaVo X500). All in, these products, particularly Primescan, where
XRAY already has an established presence in the digital impression market, should offer a
tailwind in 2020
for both the respective manufacturer as well as its distributor partners.
Outside of high-tech equipment, we are also encouraged by
targeted innovation
efforts
across pockets of traditional consumables and specialty segments, representing potentially
meaningful growth drivers in 2020. For XRAY, we note its TruNatomy offering (traditional
consumables) and new implant system from AstraTech (specialty), among others, while for
NVST we highlight its particular focus on specialty, with recent/pending launches including its
N1 implant system (specialty) and Spark clear aligner system (specialty). All in, following a
prolonged innovation drought, enhanced R&D efforts at select manufacturers are clearly
beginning to bear fruit, offering upside catalysts in 2020 and beyond.
Theme #2: Efficiency & Restructuring Initiatives Remain Key to Stories
amid Still Lackluster, albeit Potentially Stabilizing, Underlying Market
In a lackluster, albeit potentially stabilizing, market, where consumable trends have remained
perplexing over the past several years despite a healthy macroeconomic backdrop, compounded,
in some cases, by a period of relationship shifts and management misexecution, restructuring
and efficiency initiatives have become increasingly important component of earnings growth (vs.
operating leverage). We remain positively biased toward companies that have demonstrated
tangible traction
on necessary restructuring efforts and who continue to prioritize diligent cost
management thereon, initiatives that should improve associated companies’ market positioning
across the broader dental market longer term.
Company-specific disruption during the 2016/2017 period contributed to volatile earnings and
share price performance, and ultimately led to a complete overhaul of top management at both
Dentsply Sirona
and
Patterson Companies
. At XRAY, the job at hand was clearly daunting,
with new management tasked with transforming a failed mega merger (of
DENTSPLY
8 January 2020
Life Science Tools & Diagnostics
5
International
and
Sirona Dental Systems)
by rightsizing core functions and driving
successful cross-selling efforts across Sirona’s equipment installed base and DENTSPLY’s
consumables, a key rationale behind the initial merger. Despite a checkered experience at
previous firm Cardinal Health, since CEO Don Casey has taken the helm, XRAY has taken
tangible steps forward, and while goals seemed aggressive out of the gate, targeting 20% EBIT
margins by 2020; 22% by 2022), it has demonstrated solid execution, with its restructuring
plan currently ahead of schedule, potentially offering upside to Street estimates as we await an
update on long term targets in early 2020.
On the other hand, while PDCO’s turnaround story has progressed at a glacial pace, investor
expectations remain notably low, with shares still trading at 9.3x 2021 EV/EBITDA, a
meaningful discount to its historical average (10.8x) and to
Henry Schein
(11.3x). Meanwhile,
internal initiatives are beginning to take hold, with management recently outperforming
expectations, predicated on success with strategic private label focus, as well as improvement
across its salesforce, with growth drivers also stemming from successful innovation from leading
dental constituents (e.g. XRAY’s Primescan). New CFO Donald Zurbay’s efforts to implement
more rigorous financial functions over the past ~year is also encouraging, as it should support
PDCO’s ability to manage expectations going forward.
We also note
Align Technology’s
tax restructuring initiatives, which could offer an earnings
and FCF benefit in 2020. Meanwhile, HSIC will begin a new restructuring program (excl. from
non-GAAP metrics) to reduce stranded costs related to the spin/merger of Henry Schein
Animal Health/Vets First Choice (now
Covetrus
) over time, among other initiatives, with cost
savings partially reinvested in certain IT initiatives (not quantified). Importantly, while XRAY’s and
PDCO’s restructuring plans target a meaningful operational overhaul, HSIC’s plan will be less
impactful to its overall story (on a relative basis).
Theme #3: Rapidly Evolving Clear Aligner Market
The rapidly evolving clear aligner market has undoubtedly been a key focus across the dental
sector, with investors closely scrutinizing the potential implications of a more competitive
doctor-directed
market, as well as the development of the newer, and more controversial,
direct-to-consumer
market. While we view volatility will likely continue, to some extent, into
2020 for participants with concentrated clear aligner portfolios, including
Align Technology
and
SmileDirectClub
, on evolving market dynamics, we also emphasize that the broader,
global orthodontics market remains vastly underserved from a clear aligner perspective, with
clear aligner participants penetrating less than 1% of the 500 million addressable patient
population today. All in, despite an increasingly competitive landscape, we continue to view the
sizeable market is large enough for multiple players, where a rising tide can lift all boats, with
incremental marketing/education efforts and product launches supporting the adoption of clear
aligners as the new “standard of care” (vs. traditional brackets & wires).
More specifically, in the doctor-directed markets, investor concern initially rose heading into the
annual AAO conference in 2018, at which several well-known constituents, including
Henry
Schein
and
Dentsply Sirona
, among others, introduced clear aligner offerings, which intended
to compete alongside (e.g. displace) ALGN’s current offerings. By mid-2019 investor concerns
seemingly eased as the newer doctor-directed offerings demonstrated limited penetration
success and less comprehensive scope of treatment (vs.
Align
), and as focus shifted to the
potential implications of a lower cost direct to consumer (DTC) market, whereby doctors and
associated offerings used in the practice would be disintermediated in the retail setting
(discussed further below).
However, as focus around the DTC market and its disruptive potential has subsided over the
last few months of 2019, concerns around the doctor-directed markets have picked back up,
compounded by new commentary from key dental constituents. Notably,
Envista Holdings
recently announced its intention for a domestic launch of its Spark clear aligner following a pilot
launched late last year, a dynamic that comes earlier than expected following better than
expected initial market reception. While these newer offerings will potentially drive incremental
volatility for ALGN along with incremental headline risk, meaningful penetration is likely a much
