PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 24/21, Up 27%) Adding to it. Is American's largest healthcare insurer and healthcare services. This synergy is great for customers. Also, healthcare offers defense as well as growth. Chart is trending upwards as the market goes down.

medical services

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 20/20, Up 52%) Great business. Dominant player in managed care. GARP. Executing exceptionally well, consistent.

medical services

COMMENT

It beat two weeks ago, but it has struggled since then, because markets won't pay for future earnings. Not UNH's fault.

medical services

BUY

Healthcare has historically been a top sector after a yield curve inversion, when people get defensive. UNH dominates in commercial health, Medicare and Medicaid.

medical services

Unspecified

Has owned for many years. It is the best play in managed health care and helps payers and payees be more efficient and lower health care costs. Acquires and tucks in acquisitions. Highly innovative and very well managed. Maybe trading a bit on the rich side.

medical services

HOLD

An 800-pound gorilla. He'll continue to own it. Controlled costs by putting risk and responsibility on the actual providers of the healthcare services. Incentivizing to control costs at the local level. Short term, you may see costs spike due to pandemic-delayed visits. Medium-long term, you'll be fine.

medical services

BUY

It hit a new high today and he's long. It's reasonably valued. He targets at least $550.

medical services

HOLD

Likes it. EBV +6, means the stock price is pounding away. Stock could easily go to $650. Model price of $385.81, so it's too expensive by 22%. But any correction back to around $387, he'd buy.

medical services

SELL

Very good company, but not as good a stock because of valuation. He owns ANTM instead, trading about 6 multiple points less than UNH, with equally good growth metrics. Higher multiple stocks are selling off. Neither has supply chain issues.

medical services

TOP PICK

Clouds of macro risk. This one has consistently had visibility into its business. The most vertically integrated managed care company. Best in class GARP in healthcare. Administer a lot of Medicare and Medicaid. Bipartisan support for a lot of their programs. A consistent performer. Yield is 1.17%. (Analysts’ price target is $530.93)

medical services

BUY

Got hurt by Humana's bad report number, but UNH didn't suffer Medicare-related problems like Humana. Rather, UNH reported insanely strong numbers. It's a buying opportunity now. Sees strong upside.

medical services

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 28/20, Up 63%) It continues to do well. It's an insurer, but passed on the actual costs to their health suppliers, as they collect the premiums and maintain fixed costs. This business model has been working well. Is it ethical? One could argue it is, but it's worked for UHN.

medical services

DON'T BUY

In the space, he owns ANTM instead, which is half the size. Both have HMOs and PBMs. ANTM is cheaper, and it has as good, if not better, future prospects. 5-year chart shows them running neck-and-neck. Medicare for all is a long way out, given the huge US debt.

medical services

BUY

Don't fear a shutdown, but a slowdown due to the new Omicron variant. Best among the health insurers. He also likes Centene. If you can, buy a fractional share, if the price is too high.

medical services

DON'T BUY

UNH vs. ANTM He owns ANTM instead, with a valuation of 6-8 multiple points less expensive than UNH. ANTM is well managed, growth rates are very good, and medical cost ratios are inline.
