RBC Capital analyst Frank Morgan says he’s found no company specific news that would explain the weakness today in shares of eHealth. Rather, the analyst attributes the 22% pullback to continued selling in managed care operators and providers, which began yesterday morning. He attributes yesterday’s sell-off to Democratic presidential candidate rhetoric around Medicare-for-All, including a tweet from candidate Bernie Sanders during UnitedHealth’s Q1 earnings call advocating for MFA. Morgan believes investors were looking to take profits in any strong year-to-date performers, like eHealth. The analyst has an Outperform rating on the stock with an $83 price target. eHealth in afternoon trading is down 22%, or $14.05, to $51.38.
