SelectQuote: Better Fundamentals Due To Medicare Advantage Reimbursement Rate Increase (Rating Upgrade)

  • I'm upgrading SelectQuote to a buy rating after the stock's recent sharp fall. The federal government recently approved a 5.06% reimbursement rate increase for Medicare Advantage plans, which should translate into more aggressive marketing from carriers. This will lead to stronger demand and referral fees for SelectQuote, similar to how the government's premium increase approvals helped EverQuote in the auto insurance industry.
