A Micro Cap Value Turn Around Candidate: HH: HOOPER HOLMES INC

I should provide the entire introduction tomorrow but thought it was worthwhile to start a short mention tonight.


Hooper Holmes provides health information services to the life insurance industry. Medical exams, personal interviews, record collection, and laboratory testing services enable insurers to evaluate risk. The company also performs wellness screenings along with other related health information services. .

The barriers to entry are not insignificant and should help the company regain an improved status as a profitable public company with favorable trends such as an aging baby boomer population.

There is a reasonable margin of safety and management expects to be profitable in the second quarter and for the balance of the year.
