Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.INVESTORS in the healthcare sector will feel a bit battered by the events of the past year or so. But there are still some good stories and Intercare, which makes motor-powered wheelchairs and distributes medical supplies, is one of them.
The shares performed strongly last year on the back of spectacular growth. This outperformance has slowed, and last week BZW cut its forecast for the year to October to pounds 4.5m, because of worries about margins. But even on this prediction, the shares, at 187p, only trade at 17.6 times earnings. So Intercare may be a decent long-term bet.
