- 1. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We reiterate our OW rating on Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (HIIQ), which is a web-based developer and distributor of short-term medical plans targeted at the individual and family plan (IFP) market. The company also develops and distributes supplemental insurance products, including pharmacy benefit cards, dental plans, vision plans, cancer/critical illness plans, deductible and gap protection plans, and life insurance policies. Given the increasing premiums of individual exchange-based products, demand for short-term medical and limited indemnity products continues to grow." (8/16/2018)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We maintain our BUY rating on HIIQ and raise our PT to $62. The table is being set in which ’19 could be a year of accelerating revenue and adj-EBITDA growth, reversing the normalization that is contemplated in ’18. The upcoming Oct. 1 change in STM duration (3-month to 1-year) and the individual mandate penalty removal (Jan.1, ’19) should make HIIQ’s insurance products more attractive from both a financial and quality perspective. We have taken a conservative stance with respect to our estimates as not to get too far ahead of the company, but overall we are encouraged with the growth opportunity and bias that estimates move higher as ’18 progresses." (8/2/2018)
