Piper Jaffray initiated coverage on UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) with an Overweight rating and a price target of $121.00.

Analyst Sean Wieland comments, "UnitedHealth Group has built an information advantage in healthcare derived from its advanced data capabilities garnered from Optum. An information advantage enables the company to more accurately price risk, optimize provider networks, deliver transparency on price and quality, and drive behavior change across its member base. We believe this information advantage, combined with the company’s massive scale and local presence, will deliver lower medical cost inflation and greater market share across each business line relative to its peers."
