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。

Transform the original photo into a dramatic, photorealistic, ultra wide-angle shot with an extreme camera angle (including views from directly below or above), where one or more body parts are right next to the lens and look huge, the rest of the body recedes in perspective, and the same person strikes a stylish, complex, powerful pose in a consistent, expanded version of the original environment. The woman in the photo is wearing yellow stilettos and a black and silver metallic ball gown and stylish black sunglasses. Create a photorealistic movie-poster image for Zootopia 2. The scene shows a young Asian man and an oversized black shirt standing inside a crowded, dimly lit cinema. He’s flanked by Judy Hopps in full police uniform and Nick Wilde, both rendered in their official Disney CGI style. Capture the shot from a low angle so the characters feel larger than life. The cinema screen behind them is glowing with an intense action scene from the film. Let the light from the screen spill across their faces and clothing to create dramatic high contrast. The environment should feel alive with background silhouettes, soft haze, and the warm ambience of a packed theatre. Style the composition like an official Disney promotional poster: epic layout, sharp detail, high resolution, balanced framing, and clean edges. The man and the cinema should be fully photorealistic, while Judy and Nick retain their signature animated look.
At the bottom, include:
• The Disney logo
• The title ZOOTOPIA 2 in bold green and white
• The release line ONLY IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 26 Poster tone: cinematic, polished, high-end theatrical marketing. Create a hyper-realistic 8K close-up body portrait of a male model, using the uploaded photo as the exact facial reference. Maintain 100% accuracy of the facial features — do not alter or modify any aspect of the face. Render the skin texture, lighting, and overall composition with photo-realistic detail, ensuring lifelike color tones and natural depth of field. A man with his original hairstyle, he is standing confidently, hands in his pockets, looking directly at the camera. He is wearing a simple, light beige crew-neck sweater and dark trousers.
He is positioned between two decorated Christmas trees. The tree to his left is adorned with gold and white ornaments and warm lights, with wrapped red and gold gifts visible at its base. The tree to his right is decorated with red and gold ornaments. The background shows a warm, indoor setting, likely a home, with soft lighting, creating a festive and inviting atmosphere. The overall impression is one of relaxed holiday cheer.
