Jefferies analyst Brian Tanquilut says Amedisys (AMED), given its larger than peer market capitalization and stock liquidity, is the easiest way for investors to take advantage of strengthening home nursing sector fundamentals. Further, the analyst believes the benefits from the company's ongoing IT implementation remain underappreciated by investors. He remains bullish on Amedisys with a Buy rating and $59 price target. The company's peers are LHC Group (LHCG) and Almost Family (AFAM).
