		<description><![CDATA[Patterson Companies (PDCO), a leading distributor of dental, veterinarian and rehabilitation medical supplies, posted tepid second-quarter fiscal 2012 results with both revenues and earnings trailing the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Second Quarter Highlights Profit for the quarter dipped roughly 8% year over year on account of costs associated with the company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). Revenues were essentially flat year over year at $856.9 million. Sales from Patterson’s core Dental Supply division edged down roughly 2% as the company registered lower sales from its dental equipment business in the quarter due to decline in revenues from its CEREC dental restoration systems. Revenues from the Webster Veterinary Supply division jumped 7% year over year, helped by the contributions of veterinary distributor American Veterinary Supply Corporation, which Patterson acquired in August 2011. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Henry Schein (HSIC), a worldwide distributor of healthcare products and services, recently launched its new &#8220;Total Health Beyond the Mouth&#8221; program developed in collaboration with the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health. This new integrated wellness and education program reveals to patients the vital link between oral health and total health, as well as helps out dental professionals in detecting probable systemic health problems, including periodontal disease, oral cancer, sleep disorders, heart disease and diabetes. The Journal of Periodontology notes that an initial investment in preventative periodontal health benefits patients in the long run as severe periodontal disease treatment comes at a much higher price with charges escalating 21% on an average from preventative periodontal health care costs. Henry Schein strongly believes that the Total Health Beyond the Mouth program ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks fell for a second consecutive week as persistent worries about the economy continued to weigh on investor sentiments. Concerned that the economy would slide back into recession, investors chose to stay away from stocks and flew to the safety of government debt. The Dow industrials and the Standard &#38; Poor’s 500-stock index dropped on Friday but the Nasdaq managed to pull off a tepid advance. Absence of catalysts further eroded volume on Friday, which already has fallen to a record low this month. The Dow average fell 57 points, or nearly 0.6%, to close at 10213. The S&#38;P 500 index dropped 0.4% to 1072. The Dow average has re-entered the negative territory for the year. On the New York Stock Exchange, about three stocks rose in price for every ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently reiterated our Neutral rating on Patterson Companies Inc. (PDCO) with a target price of $33, based on a P/E of 17.0x our fiscal 2011 EPS estimate of $1.94. Results for Patterson’s third quarter fiscal 2010 were mixed. The company reported third quarter fiscal 2010 earnings per share of 47 cents, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate and higher than the year-ago earnings of 45 cents. Total revenues in the third quarter increased 1% year over year to roughly $820.1 million. Dental Supply revenues declined 2.1% year over year to $572.1 million. The decline was due to the weak economic scenario that resulted in dental practitioners deferring their buying decisions on dental instruments. Veterinary Supply sales increased 4.5% year over year to $151.8 million. Rehabilitation Supply revenues increased ]]></description>
