STRONG BUYFLAGCentene Corporation · Healthcare · United States · $31.3B · Avg Vol: $311M/d
Centene has the weakest quality reading in this batch at Q42 with M86 doing nearly all the work, and insiders have sold. A composite this dependent on momentum, with quality that far below the midpoint and insider selling on record, is adverse evidence rather than thin information.
