What is Aetna Risk Assessment?

Risk Assessment represents the investment risk of a stock derived from our exclusive method. It suggests how risky the investment opportunity is based on the valuation and the fundamental performance of the stock. It is derived from following key aspects:

1. GuruFocus internally developed valuations of the stock, such as GF valuation.
2. Quality Rank, a business quality indicator developed by GuruFocus.
3. Fundamental performance: Piotroski F-Score, Altman Z-Score, Beneish M-Score, etc.
4. Growth opportunities: 5-year revenue growth rate, 5-Year EPS without NRI Growth Rate, etc.

Value investors are always willing to find undervalued stocks. However, not all the undervalued stocks are good deals, we should also be careful of how risky the investment opportunity is. We believe that if the company's financial strength and profitability are strong, and the stock price is within a reasonable range of the GF valuation, or stock has a high return with its price being undervalued, then it might be a good investment opportunity with low risk.

Based on those aspects listed above, GuruFocus believes the risk assessment of Aetna is: No Data: Cannot be evaluated.

Aetna is one of the largest managed-care organizations in the U.S., with over 22 million medical members. This large member count helps the firm diversify its operating risk and has formed the basis for material competitive advantages. The firm provides health insurance services to its members through products that encompass every major insurance market--individual, group, and government sponsored. Aetna and CVS recently announced their intention to merge operations, and if approved, it would form one of the most powerful players within the healthcare space.
