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 Following the election results, Skolnick sees an "extreme risk" for the ACA to be repealed and replaced and for the loss of the Medicaid expansion, both of which she notes have been primary drivers of results for hospitals and health plans.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.
