Barrons journalist 9-23-2022 @ 11:33 am reposts that Citi group and Oak Street project a $14 price for buyout of Cano Health, current price 1.33.
Humana had first right of refusal looks like Humana passed. Journalist was KARISHMA Vanjani with BARRON’S.

Looks like Humana has passed on fort right of refusal to purchase Cano Health Care. CVS just announced buy Medavail MDVL, CVS states they are offering all employees jobs at CVS and retaining all prescription customers and placing all medicine inventory in local CVS stores. CVS stragically only bought assets in Cano Health Centers, this removes all Medavail Spot Rex locations out of Cano Health Centers and now CVS can close on the purchase of Cano Health after closing on Medavail first quarter. Check press release by CVS. Humana had first right of refusal.

Anticipating a bounce of 20%+ over the next 30 days...to offset one time hit from a couple of days ago!

Humana $HUM Pulls Back, But More Upside Is Coming

In 2019, all of the leading managed health care stocks have been very volatile. Political pressure from both sides of the aisle have been the catalyst for the excessive whipsaw in this industry group. Stocks such as Humana Inc (NYSE:HUM), Cigna Corp (NYSE:CI), UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:UNH) and others have been very susceptible to political news on a daily basis. Last week, the sector rallied sharply higher after the White House abandoned its plan to eliminate rebates from government drug plans. Unfortunately, these stocks are pulling back today after Presidential candidate Joe Biden proposes a public option for health insurance for anyone who wants it and will give power to Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

Last week, the managed health care stocks all broke out on a technical basis. Humana Inc (NYSE:HUM) is one stock that should have more upside despite today's pullback. Today, HUM stock is falling by $4.48 to $286.77 a share. Traders and investors should now watch and see if this stock can consolidate on the charts as last week's break-out pattern suggests a move back up to the $310.00 level. This major resistance level is where the stock sold off in late February 2019. I will be be keeping this leading heath care stock on my radar for a bullish pattern development.

Health Insurance Stocks Tumble, Watch This Trade Level $HUM

Today, most of the leading health insurance stock are falling sharply lower. Leaders in the industry group such as Humana Inc (NYSE:HUM), WellCare Health Plans Inc (NYSE:WCG), United Health Group (NYSE:UNH) and others are all trading in negative territory. A couple days ago, a Federal judge voiced concerns over the DOJ's approval of CVS/Aetna merger. This news is the likely catalyst for the big decline in the sector.

Humana Inc(NYSE:HUM) is a leading stock in the health insurance group that is trading lower by $14.76 to $309.71 a share. This stock is now testing it's 200-day moving average. Should this stock close below this key moving average it would indicate lower prices ahead. The next major support area that looks attractive for HUM stock will be around the $290.00 level. This is where the stock broke out in May 2018 and should be very solid chart support when retested.

LOL buy hold. Simple!!

STOP the Aetna-Humana merger/sale! Thousands of Humana employees will lose their jobs and there will be a monopoly on Medicare in many states! This merger is all about money $$$$$ and Humana executives are banking on making MILLIONS from it even if it means leaving THOUSANDS jobless. Senior citizens in many states will have little to no choice on Medicare plans.

Please click here and sign the "Stop the Aetna-Humana Healthcare Merger/Sale" petition and stop the greed!

Humana ($HUM) reported in line fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share, while its first quarter guidance is below estimates.

Sell short or buy put's as we head to $135. After earnings it will move quick

Just info only ... The Aetna CEO is in town and at 1:30 Eastern will be having a meeting with Bruce B. They are projecting the EPS not to go back up until 2017 and close the deal in June 2016. So today is what you get.

Got my calls ready weeeee

Agreed. 50% stock is a lot of stock in this deal. I say it opens up around $217-$220 and slowly drifts lower. Folks will be pulling profit Monday (like myself) and moving to Cigna though Cigna is now in a bad position as they have zero negotiating power waiting too late. They'll have no choice but to take $184 or lower for that matter.

It should open up in that area however soon it will go South.

I didn't buy calls. I have 500 shares purchased at $186.92. And damn has this made my weekend I just found out they announced the buyout! Been busy. I told you $220-$230

King did you buy those calls. Monday should be good..

$230 a share buyout price.

HH

Not sure why we have not heard anything however looking for the end of the day stock appreciation so I can bank the calls..

They would have 3 days to report that news from the time it was dealt if that were the case though.

That I don't know however it was inked last Friday.

Then what's the buyout price? I see several $220 targets.

Again the buy out has already happened. Today we are looking at the price moving forward to the low 190's. However by August we are looking at a stock price around $135. We will be out of those calls today..

How do you know this? Chartists say 184. Hell idK.

This will reverse today and I will sell when it hits 192 stock price.

I did not. I'm just watching the take down. Considering a buy here for next Monday but I'm worried about Greece.

King dig u get those 195's ? Just bought 50 contracts.

Stock should hit $187 today then buy those $195.

Those 195's still look good. When the stock hits 190 ..

Thanks

That is old news. When the stock hit's 190 here in a bit buy some 195 calls . Then sell before days end.

So KingDMC what does less than a million shares traded tell you as of this posting

Too risky since here in Louisville everyone knows who it is.. The best move is too wait til it is publicly announced and let it run. If it did hit $220 the one thing guaranteed is that it will reverse and keep on going South. Buy Put's at that point and you will be a happy man.I sold my 50 - 190's today when it hit the strike. Also, the earnings will be much worse than expected. Look at the Jacksonville Aetna office as they are adding jobs like crazy.

So why not go long if you think it's today? They could announce a $220 BO?

Remember what I said about $135. That's the bigger call and it's coming..

We will hear today, most likely as all executives were in up level meetings Friday. Again it's Aetna

Nice call. I should have listened. My buyout euphoria got in the way. Took gains and sold all though.

Did you buy those 90 Puts like I suggested ? I did and happy about it..

I'm all out took my gains. I'll buy back Thursday if no deal announced before that. Maybe next Monday .

Smh
