Q: I have 1.5% positions in LLY and UFPT. Looking to combine into 1 position. Which would you select right now? Have larger positions in ISRG and VHI as well.
Thanks

5i Research Answer:

We think both LLY and UFPT can qualify as solid long-term holdings, although LLY is much larger at a $680B market cap whereas UFPT is a $2.4B company. LLY is a pharmaceuticals company while UFPT is a healthcare equipment company. Both possess strong organic growth. We would be comfortable owning both along with ISRG and VHI. We think each company has a different growth story with limited overlap, and for an investor seeking a bit more upside growth potential, we would consolidate into UFPT. For an investor seeking some downside protection and benefit from the larger cap size, we would prefer consolidating into LLY.
