SelectQuote Q2 Earnings Preview: Sell The Medicare Reimbursement News (Rating Downgrade)
Summary SelectQuote is downgraded to sell as Medicare Advantage reimbursement shocks threaten its core business model. SLQT’s fundamentals are deteriorating, with Senior segment profitability slipping and commission revenue at risk from insurer belt-tightening. The 2027 Medicare reimbursement rate increase of just 0.09% is far below expectations, likely pressuring insurer and broker margins. Despite low EBITDA multiples, SLQT’s reliance on insurer commissions and worsening industry outlook justify caution ahead of Q2 earnings.

SelectQuote: Better Fundamentals Due To Medicare Advantage Reimbursement Rate Increase (Rating Upgrade)
Summary I'm upgrading SelectQuote to a buy rating after the stock's recent sharp fall. The federal government recently approved a 5.06% reimbursement rate increase for Medicare Advantage plans, which should translate into more aggressive marketing from carriers. This will lead to stronger demand and referral fees for SelectQuote, similar to how the government's premium increase approvals helped EverQuote in the auto insurance industry. SelectQuote is a value stock at <8x forward adjusted EBITDA. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

SelectQuote: Better Prospects After Bain Deal, But Don't Rush To Buy (Upgrade)
Summary SelectQuote, Inc. skyrocketed ~30% after posting very strong Q2 results alongside the announcement of a $350 million private infusion from investors led by Bain Capital. Revenue grew 19% year-over-year to $481.1 million, with the Senior division and Health Services arm showing notable improvements in efficiency and subscriber growth. Despite a $350 million investment to reduce debt, SelectQuote remains highly leveraged, and SLQT stock's valuation is not compelling enough to warrant a bullish stance. I'd need to see a turnaround in profitability for the SelectRx division (better than the ~1% adjusted EBITDA margins seen in Q2) to consider buying SLQT stock.
