BUZZ - Health insurance companies and hospital stocks rise, boosted by improved outlook for policy risk
路透社2026/11/04 17:51Latest Updates
November 4 - ** Health insurance company Molina Healthcare (MOH.N) saw its share price rise by 7.5% to $223.36; Centene (CNC.N) shares rose 8.9% to $73.52
** According to TD Cowen, following a Democratic sweep in Congress, hospitals and insurers focused on Medicaid face lower policy risks than most other healthcare companies
** "The Democrats’ stronger-than-expected majority increases the chances for new policies that could restore coverage for some who lost it; this is beneficial for CNC and MOH," said Cantor Fitzgerald Securities
** Hospital operators HCA Healthcare (HCA.N) had their shares rise 10.4% to $510.79; Universal Health Services (UHS.N) rose 9.9% to $194.85; Tenet Healthcare (THC.N ) rose 8.8% to $290.35
** The brokerage expects affordability and industry accountability will become central to the healthcare agenda, resulting in heightened “headline risk” across much of the sector
** The report states that a sweeping overhaul is still unlikely during President Donald Trump's administration, but Democrats may use debt ceiling negotiations to push for a restoration of “Obamacare” subsidies and reverse cuts to Medicaid payments
** Citi expects drug pricing and federal health agencies will face stricter scrutiny, but believes the short-term impact on pharmaceutical companies will be limited, and that existing pricing agreements set by the Trump administration are expected to remain unchanged
