Getting old sucks.
I feel more pain in my knees and back…
When I’m aching, I shy away from taking medicine … that’s just me.
Instead, I’ll seek out other forms of pain management such as heat, cold or even electrotherapy.
Research company Mobility Foresights projects the value of the medical devices market in the U.S. will reach $312.3 billion by 2027.
In 2021, that number was only $226.1 billion.
So the value of the medical device market is expected to increase more than 38% in just seven years!
I’ve found a way we can profit from this trend.
Today’s Power Stock is Zynex Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYXI), a $517 million medical device company that provides pain-relief products to individuals, hospitals and surgery centers.
Zynex’s Stock Power Ratings
Englewood, Colorado-based Zynex sells electrotherapy medical devices used for pain management and rehabilitation.
Its products include back and knee braces, as well as devices that provide hot and cold therapy for various injuries.
Fun fact: Zynex was ranked No. 11 on Forbes’ list of America's Best Small Companies for 2023.
Zynex stock scores 98 out of 100 on our Stock Power Ratings system, and we expect it to beat the broader market by 3X in the next 12 months.
