Outlook Key PointsSource:J.P.Morgan1)2Q19 Cost Trends/MLR Concerns are OverdoneWe still see some risk to 3Q19 consensus MLRs from calendar seasonality,even if now largely discounted.Our preliminary August hospital survey results today suggest further moderation of AA trends vs 2Q19.2)Political Risk Unlikely to Materially Recede before 2020The leading Dems disagree on M4A,how can it ever pass?On the other hand,Bidens polling is declining;Warren is ascending.3)Recession Risk is Not Fully Discounted But Beyond our Pay GradeHC facilities&managed care stocks underperform in recessions despite defensive EPS.4)Early 2020 Outlook More Headwinds than TailwindsThe HIF returns,HIX margins compress,MDCD adverse selection,peak commercial enrollment.5)Positioning&Top PicksWe still favor Medicare fundamentals and HUM as a top pick(Analyst Focus List).We also favor UNH for 2020 when MLR sentiment is likely to improve.Wed be fading high short-interest stocks that just rallied 25%in two weeks.We continue to question sustainability of the CPA ecosystem supporting DVAs margins.32019 Fall Outlook Key PointsSource:J.P.Morgan20192020YTDBy Year-EndBy Year-EndCommentsForward Fundamental

Bloomberg.LONG-TERM THESIS Own payors vs providers.Managed care represents a high-ROIC play on the longest-duration secular investment trend in the US;healthcare spending growth GDP growth”.Providers generally represent a lower-ROIC play on that same secular trend.The long-term shift from FFS to Value should reduce volatility of earnings for payors while threatening growth and increasing volatility for providers.Our thesis assumes M4A will ultimately fail.NEAR-TERM POSITIONINGPayors():We believe a modest inflection in commercial medical trend will continue to threaten 3Q19 MLRs,generally offset by G&A upside.Providers(-):We remain only selectively positive.Second half-loaded guidance(ACHA,THC,UHS)threatens stock performance,particularly if recession concerns rise.TOP PICKS HUM Well positioned pure-play MA story with strong fundamentals.“The simplest story in healthcare”.UNH Now surprisingly“less favored”.Still the most diversified scale player in a scale business with solid normalized YTD MLR trend.CATALYST CALENDARTexas STAR+PLUS Award-PENDINGAug 30?5thCircuit Appeals Court Ruling on TX ACA CaseSept/OctCMS Releases MA/PDP Landscape FileLate Sept2021 MA Star

beyond.2)Post-Election;MCO parity with SPX valuation is warranted&sustainable as consolidation&diversification reduced earnings volatility over the last decade.3)2Q19 commercial medical trend did accelerate;aberration or material inflection?We believe a“modest inflection”that has now subsided.4)Despite defensive earnings,payors&providers do not trade defensively vs SPX during recessions.5)Recession:Year 1 own MDCD vs Commercial,Year 2 Commercial vs MDCD.MA fundamentals are non-cyclical.6)DVA still derives 60%+of EPS from its contributions to AKF.CA AB290 likely to be

ContinuesSource:J.P.Morgan,Bloomberg(9/13/19)Payors have outperformed providers in 7 of the last 9 years,as the managed care sector was completely revalued post-financial crisis and ACA implementation.Our 2019 Outlook predicted that an emerging political overhang would compress valuations and limit alpha generation in 2019 that prediction turned out to be not nearly bearish enough.Commercial pricing/cost trend/adverse selection concerns have also emerged.Medicaid redetermination/“public charge”rule/slowing growth concerns have emerged.HIX competition/margin concerns have emerged.Meanwhile,beaten down providers have generally exceeded expectations but appear curiously immune from the relevant political overhang.8Gary Taylor|Recent Trading Dominated by Violent Factor ShiftsOur US equity strategy team writes“when factor positioning becomes extreme,rotations can be very violent and managers can give back prolonged periods of gains in a matter of days and weeks(see Momentum Sell-Off,Low Vol Bubble).In the current rotation,5 months of Momentum outperformance was given back in only 3 days.”In our universe the most heavily shorted stocks(21%median short

Analyst Lisa Gill covers CVS.With the exception of CVS,“pure-play”managed care stocks have significantly underperformed the broader markets since 2Q19 earnings season began.We attribute most of this move to the 2Q19 MLR“misses”and some portion to Bidens shrinking lead in the Democratic polling.TickerName2Q19A MLR vs Cons%Stock Reaction Day Of%Stock Reaction since ReleaseANTMAnthem Inc90

Release)-0.7%11Gary Taylor|Cost Trend/MLR Concerns Perceived TrendSource:J.P.MorganThe“perceived”portion of MLR concern are factors that might be attributable to sellside mis-modeling vs true underlying deterioration of fundamental performance.The table below provides an example of the cosmetic yty MLR increase experienced due to the 2019 heath industry fee/tax(“HIF”)holiday.The arithmetic varies depending on tax rate,initial MLR level and line of business(HIF is not a pass-through in MA like commercial or MDCD,so plan behavior in terms of benefit/MLR/margin can differ),but generally for commercial and MDCD,the 2019 HIF Holiday caused a 270bp cosmetic increase in yty MLR.We believe some sellsiders conscientiously build this cosmetic increase into their models,others are less rigorous such that the consensus MLRs for 2019 have a bias towards understatement creating a challenge for companies.Importantly,the 2020 HIF return should have the opposite effect,where consensus MLRs will be biased toward overstatement,easing the way for companies to perform better vs consensus.Note all MLR comparisons in this report are normalized for HIF comparability.Various companies MA

adjustments for flu,calendar,3R accrual true-ups&merger reclassifications.2)What do we mean by“calendar seasonality”?There is more healthcare utilization on weekdays vs weekends and more healthcare utilization on Monday vs Friday;we have a model that calculates the percentage headwind/tailwind for MLR/utilization on a monthly basis.Cost Trend/MLR Concerns Real DataSource:J.P.Morgan estimatesIf consensus MLRs for 2019 have a bias towards understatement(creating a challenge for companies),why did the issue emerge in 2Q19 vs 1Q19?1)1Q19 flu comps were 40bp easier yty(vs a 20bp median 2Q19 group MLR miss);2)2Q19 calendar seasonality was 40bp harder than 1Q19 yty;the bad news its 110bps harder seq in 3Q19,we expect the reported gross MLR trend will increase sequentially again.3)De facto:There was a measurable increase in underlying commercial cost trends in 2Q19(from below to the high end of guided ranges).The commercial group PMPM trend is compiled from stat filings representing 30m lives.13Gary Taylor|Cost Trend/MLR Concerns:Real Data from Statutory FilingsSource:J.P.Morgan,NAIC statutory insurance filings1)Except for HIX margin deterioration(relevant for two companies;CNC&MOH),YTD LOB trends look very solid.2)However,2Q19 commercial margins clearly deteriorated sequentially,as did NFP BCBS government margins.(1)ANTM stat filings capturing only 48%of commercial group lives.(2)CNC stat filings capturing only 36%of commercial group lives.(3)UNH stat filings capturing only 35%of commercial group lives.The figures in the tables represent
