The Female Health Company (FHCO): What We’re Looking For

This is an opportunity for Female Health to help the world and to help its own financial health. The company’s FC2 condom, which protects women from HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, is the only female condom approved by the Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization. Fool contributor Dan Newman notes that Female Health has distributed more than 20 million condoms and trained 10,000 health providers in South Africa to fight against HIV/AIDS. Over the next six years, the company plans to invest $14 million in promoting HIV/AIDS and reproductive education with the help of global agencies, which should reach more than 120 million women by 2020. Additionally, it will ramp up its stock-buyback program, buying back the remaining one-third shares of the company’s stock.

Putting the pieces together
