Our Research on the Top 3000 Companies in the US
All the analysis in this article is from our proprietary financial database of the top 3000 public companies in the US (see notes at the bottom of the article for details). We call it R&P Screener.
It helps industry professionals and investors “quickly and easily” identify the following types of companies in any sector or industry:
- High growth, medium growth, low growth, or negative revenue growth companies;
- Highly profitable, moderately profitable, or loss-making companies;
- Top-n (top-5, top-10, top-20 etc.) companies by revenues, revenue growth, net profits, net profit growth or net profit margin;
- Mega, very large, large, or medium-size companies by their latest annual revenue.
- There is no doubt that medical technology companies are evolving. They are using the latest technological advancements and scientific methods to ensure that they are able to stay on top of their business operations and revenues. From boosting efficiency by using virtual staff to employing the use of Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality, medical support organizations like NEXA are pushing the boundaries of what is possible. This helps medical establishments to grow and provide a seamless customer service experience.
