Centene Corporation (CNC) has received mixed reviews from experts. On one hand, technical analysis indicates a bearish trend with broken support levels and lower lows and highs suggesting a concerning outlook. However, a past top pick designation and strong fundamentals indicate that the company is still viable. Centene's focus on building cash reserves, reducing debt, and share buybacks highlights its commitment to long-term growth. Analysts project a price target of $89.64, which presents a potential upside. The recent recommendation to cover positions is a cautionary sign, indicating a monitoring of performance is essential moving forward.

Our PAST TOP PICK with CNC has triggered its stop at $72. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment loss of 5%, when combined with our previous recommendation.
We reiterate CNC, a provider of healthcare to under-insured families and military personnel in the US as a TOP PICK. It continues to build cash reserves, while retiring debt and buying back shares. It trades at 16x earnings, under 2x book and supports a 10% ROE. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $63) to $72, looking to achieve $90 — upside potential of 16%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $89.64)CNC provides healthcare to under-insured families and military personnel in the US. Healthcare is a sector expected to grow for years to come as the population ages. It trades at 1.6x book and 17x earnings. Cash reserves are growing as stock is aggressively bought back and debt is retired. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $63, looking to achieve $88 -- upside potential of 20%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $88.33)About as cheap as it's been in the last 5 years at 1.25x book. FMV is 93% above current price. Earnings and FMV continue to rise. A good buying opportunity.
