Cantor Fitzgerald Downgrades Coventry Health Care (CVH) to Hold; Deal with Aetna At Fair Value

Cantor Fitzgerald downgraded Coventry Health Care (NYSE: CVH) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $42.00 (from $36.00).

Analyst, Joseph D. France, said, "Aetna's (NYSE: AET)(Hold-PT $45) proposed acquisition of Coventry would significantly strengthen its Medicaid, Medicare and commercial risk business, and leverage Coventry by adding Aetna's national footprint, a larger network and substantial medical management and analytics expertise. We believe that these are highly complementary businesses and this is a positive step, particularly for Aetna, which has broken the cautious mold that has guided its actions for most of the past 10 years."
