Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Molina Healthcare stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Molina Healthcare suffers from rising medical care costs along with acute dependence on debt financing that has resulted in higher interest expenses draining the bottom line. The Zacks Consensus earnings estimate for both 2017 and 2018 has declined significantly over past 90 days. However, year to date, the shares have gained 29% outperforming the Zacks classified Health Maintenance Organization that increased 21%. The company has been witnessing steady increase in premiums and service revenues over the past several quarters. Its several inorganic growth initiatives have paid off well. It will release the second quarter results On Aug 2, 2017. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $0.86 for the second quarter reflecting a 29% year over year growth." (7/17/2017)
• 2. Cowen and Company analysts commented, "We are initiating at Market Perform with a $48 PT given potential long-term headwinds to MOH's core Medicaid business. The Republican ACA repeal plan proposes to reduce Medicaid funding and roll back Medicaid expansion ' though we are still early in the process. Individual losses could be a near-term headwind. MOH's exposure to an uncertain political environment keeps us on the sidelines for now." (3/15/2017)
• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "We stepped aside in Dec for Medicaid Expansion and Exchange (HIX) concerns. Though we were in the right zip code, we clearly hadn't zeroed in on the 4Q operational underperformance at this "address." HIX losses in 4Q account for $1.47 of the loss. Out of period items are another $0.70 drag. Thus, we estimate an adjusted EPS power number of ~$0.63. Annualizing that (~$2.50) falls 30% + below consensus. The after hours 14% sell-off is probably too optimistic. Bridge to EPS Power. The company's 4Q16 adjusted EPS loss was $1.54. That reflected $1.47 of EPS drag from HIX, consisting of a $0.34 PDR for 2017 and $1.13 for other underperformance largely driven by higher Risk Adjustment payments. MOH also was adversely impacted by $0.70 of out of period premium and provider adjustments (includes $0.29 for 2014-15 and $0.41 for 1Q16-3Q16), which is alarming given how far back these adjustments cover. Those add backs result in adjusted 4Q EPS power of $0.63, which was well below the Street's $0.75." (2/16/2017)
