CNC is really a stroll down memory lane. This company was a beautiful organic growth story - you could call them the GEICO of low-income health plans - up until about 2015. Since then as you say their growth has been driven more by acquisitions and accompanying leverage. Certainly I think they deserve a much lower multiple now than they did 5 years ago. The debt could be a problem - even the interest coverage ratios are getting a bit narrower than I'd like. I guess it's the usual Cinderella story.

Unrelated: Seems like Mike Burry is suddenly in the news a lot more after 10 years in the wilderness. This yesterday on Yahoo Finance:
