Cigna Says New York, California OK Express Scripts Deal (12/13/18)
On December 13, 2018, the State of New York determined that a previously noticed hearing in that State was not required and issued its approval of the transaction. Also on December 13, 2018, the State of California issued its approval of the transaction. We continue to work with regulators in New Jersey, the one outstanding state where approval is required, and continue to expect that the transaction will close by the end of 2018, subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions.

Five Biggest PBMs
The five biggest PBMs operating in the United States are very large, covering more than 50 percent of patients with pharmacy benefits. The following are the five largest PBMs in the country, in terms of funding and growth:

ExpressScripts: ExpressScripts provides novel solutions for navigating pharmacy costs and improving patient care. Since ExpressScripts is not owned by or linked to any pharmaceutical company, their focus is entirely on its customers. Its focus on pharmacy benefits results in better patient care. 

CVS Caremark: CVS Caremark is a growing PBM, providing comprehensive drug benefit services to over 2,000 healthcare plan sponsors and participants throughout the United States. 

Argus: Argus is one of the last independent providers of healthcare information and services supporting Medicaid and Medicare Part D, serving some of the country's most vulnerable populations. They have a wide range of clients, from managed care organizations to pharmaceutical manufacturers.
 
Envision: Envision prides itself on its transparency to the public and its full disclosure on costs, agreements, and negotiations. Recently, Envision was acquired by Walgreens, so some change is expected moving forward. 

ProCare RX: ProCare RX ( private company )is national pharmacy benefit manager with decades of experience in healthcare information technology.

Me too. Financials are solid and stocks don't trade at a value based on what might happen 3yrs from now. They have a growing client base and just beat earnings estimates. Wait for the opening dip IMO because as always more people will get freaked out at open.

This fun time for my own straddle form.

Along with a nice opportunity to cover the shorts. I hope it stays down for a few minutes after market open tomorrow.

Wow what a panic attack in AH could be mega bouncer tomorrow $56.61

Seven Express Scripts cash flow analyses imply that the company is approximately 12% undervalued prior to reporting earnings (expected Tuesday). This compares to Wall Street's price target of $81.11 which implies over 20% upside:

Six Healthcare Stocks with Nice Upside Potential

ESRX bullish 78.58

Hey all, the largest Pharmacy Benefit Manager in the USA has dropped.. I think its looking good..

http://stockchimp.blogspot.sg/2014/05/express-scripts-holdings-looks-good-for.html

The end of the year is coming and more policy holders are loosing coverage and hence we may see a sales decline.

Part of Express Scripts patient base is tied up with the PCIP program of Obamacare. This program terminates at the end of 2013 and some of those patients may end up elsewhere. Hence there is a shift which may occur. How this affects the gross sales or net income is unknown.

Why the drop?

Interesting comments

Growing market share sill present.

Company still growing revenues. Nothing wrong with that!

This may be a good buying time.

Next financial statement release on April 29th.

ESRX must be careful that it does not become so big that it fails under its own weight and the erosion caused by Obamacare.

So the Liberty Medical financial collapse may still affect Tenant because of the merger of Medco.

ESRX was published today on the market watcher group as on of the best stocks to own in 2013.

With the price now slipping, perhaps reality is setting in. At current performance, the price should be more like 25.

The PPS during the last off market hours gives rise to the observation that the high point of stock value, for the time being, has been reached.

ESRX continues raising in price per share. While this is good for shareholders like me who own the stock during this time of price growth, the concerns remains that that growth is bigger than justified by the fundamental background data.

After deliberating on the previous posts and evaluating the company's PPS performance after the news and insider buys I believe it looks like this stock is due a market value correction downward. The next earnings report, based upon the company outlook, should reflect results of quarterly operations below the amount justifying current PPS.

PCIP may be only a few hundred thousand participants, but that is enough to affect the results of operations and thus affect the PPS.

By recollection, PCIP only covered around 350K people and was slated to be scrapped in 2014 as the ACA takes root. I fail to see how this blip would have any meaningful impact on ESRX numbers.

The insider trade data is interesting and rather condemning. Thanks for sharing it.

Stunning only when looking under the table. ESRX has been very quiet about their 100% lock on the USG PCIP market. This was acquired through the purchase of Medco. Letters went out last week to PCIP participants advising that they must use ESRX mail order or lose their discounts. Did not find any reference to this development on public news.

The low forcast of a red quarter ahead counters the PCIP business they don't talk about and their actual improved earnings. Why then the depressing new release?

12/5/12
Dir Benanav acquires 35,708 shares
12/3/12
Dir MacMahon acquires 18,740 shares
COO McNamee acquires 101,004 shares

It appears the insiders kept the PPS low for their acquisitions. I expect ESRX will now move back up to the mid 60s or above where they belong. IMO a good option or stock play to the upside. They disclosed everything publically far enough ahead to avert suspicion and got a very good price. The bad projections will just fade away and by next earnings they will be in the surprise category. Any by the way they are increasing costs for medications to the federal government, in some cases doubling the cost by forcing the use of the higher mail order cost than what the drugs can be purchased for at the local pharmacy. Your tax dollars at work employing bureaucrats and rewarding the drug companies!

Flatcat

Stunning impact of negative 2013 guidance. Very odd timing with election results still pending.

What a dumb move. Insty's will revolt with S/P down over $10.

This company needs some new IR blood. This debacle was unnecessary and will set S/P growth back for at least a year as big players remain gunshy from further self-inflicted wounds.

Here are highlights from Wednesday's Analyst Blog:

WellPoint Exceeds Expectations

WellPoint Inc. (NYSE: WLP) reported its fourth-quarter income from continuing operations of $524.7 million or $1.33 per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.21. This also compares favorably with the income of $536.0 million or earnings of $1.16 in the year-ago quarter.

WellPoint also posted its income from continuing operations of $2.8 billion or $6.74 per share for fiscal year 2010, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.60 and the income of $2.9 billion or $6.09 in the fiscal year 2009. The company's earnings were in-line with the management's guidance of above $6.60 earnings per share for the fiscal year 2010.

The improved showing was attributable to higher operating cash flows and the implementation of organizational changes in the health care. The sale of NextRx pharmacy benefit management subsidiaries to Express Scripts (Nasdaq: ESRX) in the fourth quarter of 2009 also contributed a significant return of capital.

WellPoint's income from continuing operations excludes net investment gains of $24.1 million after-tax, or approximately 7 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2010, and $100.2 million after-tax, or approximately 23 cents per share in fiscal 2010, which was partially offset by an intangible asset impairment charge of $13.7 million after-tax, or 3 cents per share.

The earnings of the fourth quarter of 2009 excluded the after-tax net income of $2.2 billion, or $4.79 per share, resulting from a gain on the sale of the NextRx, partially offset by costs for restructuring activities and intangible asset impairments.

Fiscal year 2009 excluded after-tax net income of approximately $1.8 billion, or $3.79 per share, resulting from the gain on the sale of NextRx, partially offset by net investment losses, intangible asset impairments and costs for restructuring activities.

Including these one-time items, WellPoint reported a net income of $548.8 million or $1.40 per share in the fourth quarter 2010 as opposed to $2.7 billion or $5.95 per share in the prior-year quarter. Net income in 2010 was $2.9 billion or $6.94 per share as against $4.7 billion or $9.88 per share.

Segment Results

Commercial Business: Operating gains in the segment increased 89.6% year over year to $600.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 27.0% year over year to $3.1 billion in fiscal 2010.

Consumer Business: Operating gains in the segment plummeted 29.5% year over year to $112.0 million in the reported quarter and declined 21.8% year over year to $1.0 billion in fiscal 2010.

Other: Operating gains in this segment experienced an operating loss of $19.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with an operating gain of $100.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. This was due primarily to the fact that fourth quarter 2009 results included two months of NextRx operations prior to its sale on December 1, 2009.

WellPoint's Others segment also faced an operating loss of $8.8 million in full year 2010 as compared with an operating gain of $469.4 million in full year 2009.

Evaluation of Capital Structure

WellPoint generated operating cash flow of $587.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $1.4 billion in the fiscal year 2010, which included $1.2 billion of tax payments related to the 2009 sale of NextRx. At the end of December 31, 2010, cash and investments at the parent company totaled approximately $3.3 billion.

As of December 31, 2010, WellPoint had $148.5 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization. During the reported quarter, WellPoint repurchased 17.8 million shares for $1.0 billion and repurchased 76.7 million shares of its stock for approximately $4.4 billion in fiscal 2010, following the sale of NextRx.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, WellPoint witnessed net investment gains of $37.2 million pre-tax, consisting of net realized gains from the sale of securities totaling $47.6 million, partially offset by other-than-temporary impairments totaling $10.4 million.

In the prior year quarter, WellPoint experienced net investment losses of $4.5 million pre-tax, consisting of other-than-temporary impairments of $40.5 million, primarily offset by net realized gains from the sale of securities totaling $36.0 million.

Comparison with Competitors

Rival company Unitedhealth Group, Inc. (NYSE: UNH) reported its fourth quarter results on January 20, 2011 with income from continuing operations of 94 cents per share, better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 90 cents. Full year EPS was $4.10, which also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.99. WellPoint's peers like CIGNA Corporation (NYSE: CI) is scheduled to report its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2010 results on February 3, followed by Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET) on February 4.

Outlook for Fiscal 2011

WellPoint anticipates a net income of at least $6.30 per share.

Our Recommendation

Though we are pleased with the strong results of WellPoint along with solid capital management, we remain wary of the impact of the health insurance reforms and expect these reforms to increase unemployment and stretch profit margins of WellPoint and its competitors. The resulting downward pressure is likely to overshadow the stock.

WellPoint has a strong cash flow generation, leading market share positions, diversified product portfolio, proven track record of execution, attractive valuation, and consistency that would provide long-term value to its investors. Meanwhile, WellPoint has been increasing its premiums and controlling costs.

Further, WellPoint is well positioned among its peer group and has been strengthening its portfolio through its acquisition strategy, the synergies of which are expected to lead to margin expansion and top-line growth. Moreover, the sale of its in-house pharmacy benefits business to Express Script has strengthened its balance sheet and fueled a major stock repurchase.

Currently, WellPoint carries a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold recommendation, indicating no clear directional pressure on the stock over the near term.
