Hanger Orthopedic Group, Inc. engages in the ownership and operation of orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) patient-care centers in the United States. The company has a P/E ratio of 22.9, equal to the average health services industry P/E ratio and below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 23.5.

TheStreet Ratings rates Hanger Orthopedic Group as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, revenue growth and good cash flow from operations.
