Piper Jaffray Upgrades DaVita Inc. (DVA) to Buy; Expect Strong Q1 Results
Piper Jaffray upgrades DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA) from Neutral to Buy. Price target $57.
Piper analyst says, "We believe the sell-off and continued weakness in shares of DVA since the release of the Obama budget and health care reform proposal in late February to be vastly overdone, and feel recent analyses that focus solely on one aspect of the reform proposal (i.e., the possible introduction of a low-cost public health plan to compete with commercial insurers) in isolation, without balancing the practical realities of how other payers and providers will change their policies as a result, is both misguided and dangerous. Additionally, we note that the current health care proposal is just that, a proposal, with very few details and an extremely difficult path ahead before it could become a reality."
