It's been quite a while since I've posted a stock analysis and I apologize for that. Life happened to get busy and things just got in the way that I didn't have the time to compile all of the data and get some posts up. Have no fear though as I should have some more time to close out the year. Today I wanted to take a closer look at Owens & Minor, Inc. (OMI). OMI closed trading on Friday, November 29th at $38.17, offering a current yield of 2.52%.
