He's bought and sold this over 15 years. Now, earnings are closer to a trough than a peak, and analysts guided up after their last report.
Kevin Simpson
Costs are still running high. He still owns as part of a diversified healthcare allocation, but he's neutral on whether it's the best place for new $$. Over time, will probably give you 10-11% per year (decent compounding, but not a top pick idea).
Dan Rohinton
(Note the shortish timeframe.) Bumpy road. Biggest weight on stock has been Trump administration's proposal to essentially flatten (increase of 0.1%) Medicare Advantage rates in 2027. That miniscule increase combined with medical cost inflation really puts pressure on.
Trying to prioritize margins over growth. Insurance products will be repriced next year, should see better growth in topline and bottom line.
He owns CVS instead, and a third of their business is health insurance, which 100% of UNH's business. The problem with US healthcare is all the news coming out of Washington. A lot of their business is dictated by the whims of one or two people in the U.S. Still a good business, but is a little speculative.
Dark clouds are concern about overstated revenues plus current regulatory environment. If you want to invest in something and look like a hero a year from now, you could take a very small percentage. Taking on risk if something else blows up. Can't see a basing pattern yet.
Stock's PE is cheap, but he sees negative earnings growth over next few years. Reports of hedge fund companies getting in is a positive. Very oversold.
