With fresh headlines on Aetna’s planned exit from several Affordable Care Act exchanges and the company’s history of sizeable legal penalties, investors are weighing how much of this mixed picture is already reflected in the share price.

Medtronic stock edged about 1.5% higher to roughly $92 after earnings, a muted reaction for a company long viewed as a slow and steady medical devices compounder. The headline was far punchier than the share move suggested.
