CAPS Rating:
*****

A national managed health care company operating health plans, insurance companies, network rental/managed care services companies, and workers' compensation services companies.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

This stock is valued at $75/share. This does not take into consideration the growth potential of this company which is producing a 28% y-o-...More

Healthcare providers are depressed to value levels due to an uncertain future and the election cycle. May have missed the bottom, but these companies can certainly make money under the current system and are now cheap.

After historically focusing on risk-based health plans for employers in small to midsize markets, Coventry altered its focus with the acquisition of First Health in 2005. First Health provided primarily fee-based services to those wishing to self-insure and was active in more markets. Coventry is now a national managed-care company with operations in all 50 states, offering risk- and fee-based health-benefit products to local, national, and government clients.

Excellent growth opportunities with this company. One of the most trusted management teams in America. Additionally, its selling far below its value. Managed care companies are a cash machine. Just about everyone on Wall Street knows it. Just a few rogue analysts are having a little fun with the inflationary pressures. Understandably, most analysts covering these companies are either idiots or have a hidden agenda. Do your own research; but this is a great investment.
