Laura Cadden says Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNH) could see a spike in its share price this week. The company is poised to announce positive third quarter results, which is a rarity in today’s climate. This could yield double-digit gains within days for investors that move quickly.

More from Laura in Today’s Financial News:

Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNH) runs over 180 nursing centers in the U.S. and provides rehabilitation, inpatient and medical staffing services.

On October 30, the company will announce its third quarter results and all indications are that they should be promising.

Fundamentally, I like the Sun’s P/E of 7.7 and Forward P/E of 9.63, but what I’m really looking at is the short-term potential…

At the beginning of the month, the California-based healthcare provider announced that it had discontinued operations at five centers and that it had a lower than anticipated interest expense on its variable rate debt.

Analysts estimate EPS this quarter to be up 36.30% to 20 cents. The company has exceeded analysts’ estimates for the last five quarters – and it very well may do the same on Thursday.

With good third quarter results in these depressing times, this company’s stock price will jump and if you get in now, you could see double-digit gains in just a few days.

I recommend you buy shares of Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNH) at or under $11.

About Contrarian Profits (http://contrarianprofits.com)

ContrarianProfits.com is a financial news and opinion website with a twist. As investment guru Rick Rule puts it, “You are either a contrarian or a victim.” In the financial world, most people are losers because they just don’t know what game they’re playing. They think they can just get “into the market” along with everyone else, do what everyone else does, and they will make money. Not likely. By the time you’ve paid commissions, spreads, fees, taxes – and suffered the consequences of inflation – you’ll be very lucky just to have as much money as you started with.

ContrarianProfits.com is a contrarian site, in the sense that we provide ideas, opinions and recommendations that often run counter to the mainstream financial press. We do this not just to be contrary, but because we’ve realized that Rick is right. You don’t make money by following the crowd; you make money by leading it.

Why is this so? Well, it’s obvious that if you do the same thing everyone else does you’ll get the same results everyone else gets. On average, and over the long run, real investment returns for the typical investor cannot exceed the rate of growth of the economy itself. Everybody can’t get richer faster than everybody else. Real economic growth in the US today averages about 3% per year; if you don’t make any mistakes, that’s about what you can expect. Few people may be satisfied with 3% per year, but most feel comfortable in the middle of the financial herd and are happy to take whatever that gets them. If you’re one of those people, you will probably not like our site. It will make you uncomfortable.

If, on the other hand, you’re willing to look at things a little differently, you’ll appreciate the views of many of our columnists, contributors and visionaries.
