About: Elevance Health remains one of the leading health insurers in the US, providing medical benefits to 46 million medical members as of June 2025. The company offers employer, individual, and government-sponsored coverage plans. Elevance differs from its peers in its unique position as the largest single provider of Blue Cross Blue Shield branded coverage, operating as the licensee for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association in 14 states. Through acquisitions, such as the Amerigroup deal in 2012 and MMM in 2021, Elevance's reach expands beyond those states through government-sponsored programs, such as Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans, too. It is also an emerging player in pharmacy benefit management and other healthcare services.

Elevance Health: Keep It Simple And Buy This Great Business At A Low Valuation
ELV stands out as an outperformer due to strong historical performance, capital returns, and a robust balance sheet. Sector tailwinds and AI-driven efficiency gains present attractive long-term opportunities, while ELV trades at a comparatively low valuation. Key risks include unpredictable medical costs that could continue outpacing premium revenue growth, potentially offsetting AI benefits, though a large loss appears unlikely when investing today.

Top 15 High-Growth Dividend Stocks For September 2025
My Top 15 high-growth dividend stocks for September 2025 are collectively 32% undervalued and offer a 1.43% yield with 21.57% five-year dividend growth.
