As previously reported, Mizuho analyst Sheryl Skolnick downgraded UnitedHealth to Neutral from Buy citing Donald Trump's election and the move to a GOP Congress. Following the election results, Skolnick sees an "extreme risk" for the ACA to be repealed and replaced and for the loss of the Medicaid expansion, both of which she notes have been primary drivers of results for hospitals and health plans. She cut her price target on the stock to $135 from $169.

BofA downgraded Molina Healthcare (MOH) to Underperform from Neutral with a $439 price target. The firm, which is concerned that Molina and the Medicaid industry more broadly are likely to face rate pressure after a period of elevated margins, sees a less attractive risk/reward for Molina compared to other insurers the firm covers, the analyst tells investors. Molina is now trading roughly at parity with the firm's top pick in the space, UnitedHealth (UNH), compared to a 22% discount that had been seen over the last five years, helping to underscore the firm's view that "sentiment for Medicaid is nearing a top just at a time when Medicare is reaching a bottom," the analyst added.
