Mar 02, 2013 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) --
Below are the three companies in the Managed Health Care industry with the highest projected earnings growth. The growth of earnings per share (current fiscal year estimated vs. last year actual) is important to gauge future profitability and relative value. Higher EPS growth generally justifies higher earnings multiples.Centene ranks highest with a projected earnings growth of 400.8%. Health Net is next with a projected earnings growth of 103.0%. Triple-S Management ranks third highest with a projected earnings growth of 12.8%.
Aetna follows with a projected earnings growth of 7.7%, and CIGNA rounds out the top five with a projected earnings growth of 5.9%.
SmarTrend recommended that subscribers consider buying shares of Health Net on October 2nd, 2012 as our technology indicated a new Uptrend was in progress when shares hit $23.79. Since that recommendation, shares of Health Net have risen 7.6%. We continue to monitor Health Net for any potential shift so investors can protect gains and will alert SmarTrend subscribers immediately.
