Investors might now bet on the TACO trade to emerge as the global economy is facing the consequences of President Trump’s foreign policy, pressuring his core voter base ahead of the mid-term elections. The Magnificent Seven lost over $850 billion in market value last week, but the focus will shift to labor market data in this holiday-shortened week.
Molina Healthcare Fundamental Analysis
Molina Healthcare is a managed care company. It focuses on health insurance coverage for lower-income households through government programs, Medicaid, and Medicare.
So, why am I bullish on MOH at current levels?
Following the 2025 slumps, expectations call for a 15% increase in Medicaid margins, as confirmed by Molina Healthcare’s 2026 EPS guidance, which is at least $5.00 per share, far above the consensus average of $3.70. Its strategic workforce expansion of 15,000+ home health providers across 26 states strengthens service delivery capacity, while management executes opportunistic share buybacks, citing depressed valuations, adding to my bullish sentiment on MOH.
