Patterson Companies (PDCO) is a healthcare stock providing medical supplies primarily in the business of veterinary and dental products.
As a provider of health care products will it manage to put in some gains? Typically, in times of a recession, healthcare products offer a defensive play as consumers still generally prioritise healthcare expenditure.
