HIIQ an undervalued growth stock in a sector with political risk Long

Description

HIIQ was already undervalued, with a forward P/E of 4.65, but it just got even moreso today as analysts bumped its earnings forecast by roughly 20%. This is a low-volume stock, so the market hasn't yet noticed or reacted to the upgrade except for a few options traders. The main problem with HIIQ is that health insurance stocks face a lot of political risk going into an election year when the Democratic candidates may be inclined to try to kill this industry altogether.

Comment

On looking more closely, it looks like this upgrade affects only 2019, not 2020, and thus is probably a one-off, not reflecting real improvement in the company's fundamentals.
