Elevance Health Q2 '25 Earnings Highlights

$ELV (-7.94%)

EPS: $8.84 vs $9.07 expected ❌
Revenue: $49.4 billion vs $48.14 billion expected ✅
FY25 EPS guidance: $30.00 vs $34.48 consensus ❌

Benefit cost ratio: 88.9%; increase of +260 basis points compared to the previous year
Operating expense ratio: 10.1 %; decrease of -160 basis points compared to the previous year

The second-largest health insurer reported its profits. Although these were below consensus, they were not too bad given the panic in the industry.

The benefit cost ratio was 88.9%, an increase of 260 basis points from the previous year, reflecting the trend toward higher medical costs, particularly in the Medicaid business and ACA health plans.

CEO Comment:

"In the second quarter, Elevance Health made significant progress in delivering a simple and personalized experience for our customers while advancing our efforts to improve efficiencies across the health system ... With the embedded earnings power of our diversified Health Benefits and Carelon businesses, we remain confident in our ability to deliver at least 12% compound annual growth in adjusted diluted earnings per share over time." - Gail K. Boudreaux

Further increased

$UNH (-2.35%)

$UNH (-2.35%) has not experienced two consecutive years of negative returns since 1987.

Who is still invested here, who is buying, what are your assessments? 🤔

In my opinion, a lot of negative things are already priced in here.

There is no evidence for the accusations
Every accusation is contradicted and more openness is also suggested
They are regularly reviewed and nothing negative has been found
Bad "old" news is constantly being rehashed which has already been dismissed as unfounded and unproven
CEO and other insiders have set an example by buying it
$UNH (-2.35%) is one of the largest employers in the US and also system relevant
Medicare/Medicaid accounts for only 15% of revenue
Outlook/expectations have already been reduced
Historically high dividend yield of just under 3%
Possible penalties already priced in in my opinion

yes, of course there is still downside potential, but the risk/reward ratio is already very attractive

The entire sector has similar ways of working and a decline/reduction in Medicare could $UNH (-2.35%) as the top dog in the private sector could even play into its hands.

UnitedHealth Group $UNH (-2.35%) has traded at the largest deviation from the S&P 500 price-to-earnings ratio since its IPO ...

This stock has literally NEVER been this cheap relative to the S&P 500.

Incredibly exciting to follow the story.

$CNC (-4.27%)
$CVS (-2.94%)
$OSCR
$HUM (-9.96%)
$CI (-1.75%)
$ELV (-7.94%)
$XDWH (-0.63%)

How many shares are you up to now? There should already be a lot of skin in the game. 😁

EDIT: At UNH, of course.

Percentage of income from Medicare:

Molina $US60855R1005 (-8.3%) - 80 %

Centene $CNC (-4.27%) - 52 %

Elevance $ELV (-7.94%) - 25 %

UnitedHealth $UNH (-2.35%) - 11 %

CVS Health (Aetna) $CVS (-2.94%) - 6 %

Companies that in my opinion have upside potential on positive news.

Healthcare sector in general with a lot of catch-up potential, can in my opinion be well overplayed. $XDWH (-0.63%) play.

Do you have any sectors that you play via ETFs and if so, which ones?

I would be interested, I will probably now also set up a savings plan on $DAPP (-1.56%) and make a first purchase.

Expansion of the money supply
Possible fall in interest rates
Debt of the USA (repayment 1/3 this year)
and much more

In my opinion, this should $BTC (-2.52%) and a large part of the associated companies.

(Even if we are already somewhat further advanced)

Looking forward to your opinions and sector ETF's, even if they are only short term positions.

Normally I only go for individual stocks, but as I hardly want to hold cash, I feel very comfortable in the healthcare sector at the moment. ✌️

or via $WHCS If you love dividends 😊 or want to regularly skim off partial profits without order fees. I don't have any other sector ETFs, but I do have $EQQQ, which is almost a tech ETF.

A Fast-Growing Roll-Up Strategy

From a long-term perspective, $MOH (-8.3%) continues to be an attractive roll-up strategy that can benefit from adding smaller single-state health insurers to its platform.

Molina's attractive valuation, cost control strategies, and growth outlook make it a potential buy for investors looking for long-term rewards.

$MOH (-8.3%) stock is down nearly -25% from YTD highs, but Q2 results show stabilizing medical expense ratios, assuaging investor fears.

Its attractive valuation, cost control strategies, and growth outlook make it a potential buy for investors looking for long-term upside. Anyone bullish on this stock?🤔

Beat the S&P500 Challenge

I have been thinking about which stocks I could use to beat the S&P500 index.

After a lot of research, I have now decided on 20 American shares, which I will save 100 euros/month each in savings plans from 01.04.2024. As I didn't want any overlaps/duplications with my ETFs (World and Consumer Staples), I chose companies from the second tier. Perhaps one or two of the stocks will also be of interest to you 😉

The portfolio will contain the following shares:
