RE: MOH

52 week high was $359.97 and now trading at $134.51.

Revenue is growing strong with nine months this year growing 13% over 2024 ($34,051M vs. $30,151M) and YoY growth was up 19% ($40,650M vs. $34,072M). They're buying up other businesses which is a good driver for this revenue growth.

They have $4,221M in cash + another $4,226M in investments against $3,664M in LT debt. They did just close on $850M of new senior notes with a 6.5% rate and mature February 2031 so add that to the LT debt. Nearest maturity is the 2028 debt which is $800M outstanding due in 2028. Rest is due in 2030+. They have a BB rating by S&P and Ba2 from Moody's.

FCF of $544M (after debt was $1,284M) and "core" FCF was $1,442M in 2024. Now if you include the acquisitions into FCF (I always do) then FCF was $200M and core $1,098M. Super low CAPEX business with only $275M spent total over last three years.

Historical EV/EBITDA is around 10-12x and right now it's ~4x so pretty cheap compared to historical multiples. ROIC > 10%.

Class action securities fraud lawsuit was recently filed as they appear to have made false statements on their premium rates and medical costs trends. Likely a buy when others are fearful moment here.

They've been buying back common stock as they had 55.5M shares outstanding in their 10-K and recent 10-Q shows 51.4M.

Seems like a buy.

Happy investing,
Sean

I couldn't work it out. Too complex for me.

Firebird Management's Steve Gorelik's Molina Healthcare Bull Thesis $MOH - remember watching this when it came out. Maybe it will be of use to you :)

I won MOH as well. I think it’s a great bet on recovery in health care insurance margins as we enter a harder cycle. they have grown by acquisitions in the past, acquiring small subscale health insurers at around book value and then run them more efficiently. The stock is very cheap if you think margins normalize.
