Centene Corporation (CNC) has been making headlines with its 2024 financial results, substantial growth in short interest, and appointment of the first president over Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA) business. Financial investments have seen both highs and lows, with Cantor Fitzgerald holding the stock at overweight and setting a $90 target. Several investment firms increased their stake in Centene, including the Alberta Investment Management Corp and Hussman Strategic Advisors Inc. However, some others like Convergence Investment Partners LLC and Rhumbline Advisers reduced their holdings.
Despite some market shifts and share slips, the company's Q4 earnings beat estimates, owing to membership growth and better-controlled medical expenses. This boosted their 2025 view up. Wall Street seems to have a mixed opinion, with Argus downgrading the stock to hold due to Medicare and Medicaid uncertainty while UBS upgraded the shares to buy citing compelling valuation. Despite market volatility, Centene is projected to remain an attractive risk-reward investment, suited for both short-term traders and long-term investors.
The company also reaffirmed its 2024 earnings guidance and unveiled 2025 financial guidance, potentially signaling a promising future ahead.
