   <description>&lt;p&gt;Investing.com -- TD Cowen has identified its top picks in the Healthcare Facilities &amp;amp; Managed Care sector, with analysts expecting large payors to deliver positive third-quarter results while hospital fundamentals remain challenged. The firm highlighted three stocks as best positioned for upcoming earnings reports. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Analysts anticipate that major health insurance companies will broadly perform at or above consensus estimates, with several expected to raise full-year guidance. Recent investor meetings and performance tracking suggest select providers are positioned to outperform current market expectations in the second half of the year.&lt;/p&gt;

   <description>(Updated - October 12, 2026 7:13 AM EDT)

&lt;p&gt;Guggenheim analyst Jason Cassorla raised the price target on Elevance (NYSE: ELV) to $460.00 (from $455.00) while maintaining a Buy rating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The analyst commented: &quot;ELV has rebounded ~11% from its post-2Q26 lows (vs S&amp;P 500 +4%) on the heels of mgmt’s commentary suggesting Medicaid, MA, and Individual ACA were all developing better than company expectations exiting 2Q26. When considered alongside our recent catch up with mgmt, we expect another quarter of slight upside that flows into 2026 guidance, resulting in a largely de-risked 3Q and 2026 set-up.

   <description>&lt;p&gt;Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Sarah James reiterated an Overweight rating and $450.00 price target on Elevance (NYSE: ELV).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The analyst commented, &quot;2027 Stars / Bonus Year 2028 yielded materially positive results for HUM as it flipped H5216, &amp; positive results for UNH as it matched the buyside bogey. The investor question has been who was set to lose on Stars, which ALHC's (NC) drop shows, but is not entirely surprising. The 11% decline at CVS &amp; 7% decline at ELV were anticipated by some but not investor consensus, in our view, so we expect some pressure on the stocks...=/-) ELV 47% in</description>
