$CNC $UNH when JPM started collapsing down from 170 in 2023 with the banking collapse worries, I wonder how many people missed out on getting it at 106 because bears had them convinced it was going down to 89 and 67. 2 years later it now trades at 286.

$CNC Most people misunderstood the mechanics behind the guidance withdrawal. It's not Centene that had higher costs and lower enrollment growth, it's their competitors (overall market). Relatively, Centene's doing so well, it has to pay competitors $1.8 billion to preserve competition. The ACA's Risk Adjustment Program tries to balance out that actuarial risk with a zero-sum compensation system. Centene's competitors took on more risk and had less enrollment growth. That's why Centene has to pay its competitors $1.8 billion to help them avoid death spirals. This is not good for Centene in the short term because it is a drag on earnings, but the business and management are doing great on metrics that matter long term.

$UNH higher PE but larger company and pays a solid divy. Down over 50% from ATH. $CNC extremely low PE, no divy and projecting 37% decrease in EPS this year with plans to recover in 2026. Stock down 45% from price prior to crash. Both withdrew guidance. What's the better stock and why?

$CNC let's do some math. Let's assume the revised estimate annual eps of 3.22 is accurate. Even that highly improbable number, would mean trading at 10 p/e would price us at 32.20. Even at that utterly retarded eps estimates we are trading too cheap. Centene reported 2.90 in Q1 of 2025 alone. To be at 3.22 annual they'd be basically operating at breakeven for the next 3 quarters which seems impossible. At one point the madness will end and the math will prevail. $UNH

$CNC expects a $1.8 billion ACA risk adjustment for 2025 but remains the low-cost leader with lower denial rates in key markets. While peers face higher risk from sicker members, slower growth, & premium hikes, Centene’s scale, pricing power & risk profile position it to gain share. Despite near-term headwinds, Centene’s ability to attract healthier members, maintain competitive pricing, grow faster, and manage utilization gives it a long-term edge—especially as the industry grapples with rising costs and margin pressure.
