摩根士丹利:UNH會成為2026年新CVS?




摩根士丹利提問:聯合健康(UNH)是否會成為2026年的「CVS」?

摩根士丹利近日提出疑問,聯合健康集團(UnitedHealth Group,股票代號:UNH)是否會成為「2026年的CVS」,指其近期的策略顯示出明顯意圖修復利潤率,甚至不惜犧牲會員增長。

聯合健康在過去兩年因使用率上升和新風險模型的逐步實施,對盈利能力造成壓力,現正積極調整價格和縮減福利。公司計劃在2026年減少約100萬名Medicare Advantage(美國聯邦醫療保險優勢計劃)會員,甚至可能根據其內部福利分析進一步收縮會員規模。

摩根士丹利指出,這一策略與CVS自2025年年度註冊期起推行的做法相似,都是優先追求獲利而非會員規模增長,該行對此策略持正面評價。

該行預計聯合健康的Medicare Advantage業務在2026年利潤率將回升至約2%至3%,接近公司長期設定的2%至4%目標範圍。同時,摩根士丹利認為整個Medicare Advantage類別的前景有所改善,原因包括更有利的費率通知及監管環境可能放寬,這些因素有助於市場領導者的利潤率恢復。

不過,摩根士丹利同時指出,市場可能尚未完全反映這些改善的潛力。雖然投資者普遍理解管理層提出的利潤回升路徑,但可能低估了聯合健康2026年計劃中的福利削減幅度。

截至去年八月低點以來,聯合健康股價已上升38%,部分投資者認為其轉型故事仍有待證明。摩根士丹利強調,這些調整的影響要等到明年二月聯邦醫療保險與醫療補助服務中心(CMS)公布年度註冊期結果後,才能更清楚看到。

具體來說,聯合健康在多項產品上的福利削減均超過全國平均水平,尤其是Medicare Advantage PPO計劃削減幅度較大,與管理層減少低利潤部分業務的意圖一致。此外,該公司也提高了最高自付額和Medicare覆蓋服務的共付比例,這些都是其調整策略的重要部分。

編輯評論與深入分析:

摩根士丹利將聯合健康比作「2026年的CVS」,這個比喻非常耐人尋味。CVS作為美國最大的藥房連鎖之一,其近年來透過調整產品組合和注重盈利能力的策略,成功從單純的零售藥房轉型為綜合健康服務供應商,並且在盈利能力上獲得顯著提升。聯合健康若能採取類似路線,即使短期內犧牲會員增長,也能穩固利潤基礎,這對投資者來說是一個積極訊號。

然而,這種策略也帶來風險,尤其是福利削減可能影響用戶滿意度和長期品牌忠誠度,進而影響市場份額。對於依賴大量會員基數的健康保險公司來說,會員流失的後果不可忽視。聯合健康如何在精簡福利與保持競爭力之間找到平衡,將是其未來成敗的關鍵。

另外,摩根士丹利提及監管環境可能放寬,這是市場仍需密切關注的變數。美國醫療保險政策的變動常常會對相關企業帶來重大的影響,政策風向的任何變化都可能改變市場預期和公司策略。

最後,對香港及亞洲投資者而言,這篇報道提供了一個重要視角:全球大型健康保險企業如何透過調整策略回應市場和監管壓力,進而影響股價和投資價值。投資者應該從中反思,類似的商業模式轉型和利潤優先策略,是否也適用於本地及區域的保險和醫療健康行業,並警惕短期內的策略調整可能帶來的長期風險。

總括而言,聯合健康是否能成為「2026年的CVS」尚未明朗,但其積極調整盈利結構的舉措,無疑為投資者提供了新的思考方向和市場觀察重點。
