Canaccord analyst Mark Massaro raised his price target for Quest Diagnostics (DGX) to $103 from $97 and reiterated a Buy rating after the company delivered a "solid" Q1 top and bottom line beat, driven by stronger volume growth than the Street anticipated. Quest is off to a "good start" as it adds new volume growth related to 43M new lives from recent health plan wins from UnitedHealthcare (UNH) and others, and Quest expects volumes to gradually grow throughout this year, Massaro tells investors in a research note.

Deutsche Bank analyst George Hill raised the firm's price target on UnitedHealth to $562 from $545 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company reported a Q1 earnings beat with many moving pieces caused by the cyberattack on Change Healthcare, which left earnings quality and guidance up to investor interpretation, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees the full impact of the hack, as well as conservatism around cost trend and utilization would impact UnitedHealth earnings by only 2% for the full year.
