Centene: A High-Risk Turnaround Bet With Asymmetric Upside

Summary Centene is a speculative hold, trading at a steep valuation discount with significant turnaround potential but high structural risk. CNC’s Q1 2026 earnings beat, raised guidance, and strong cash flow signal operational improvement, yet Medicaid and ACA headwinds persist. Medicaid contract reratings and Medicare Advantage rate increases offer near-term support, but ACA enrollment and behavioral health costs remain key risks. I recommend CNC as a high-volatility, 12-18 month contrarian play with a max 5% position size; Elevance Health offers a steadier alternative. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Centene: Should Have Followed My Original Thesis, But A Buy For Q3 2024

Summary Centene, a leading health insurer, shows strong fundamentals and growth despite sector challenges, making it a "Buy" at a target price of $70/share.
