CNC expressed "high confidence" that it should achieve its 15% growth target in 2012 although trimmed the DCP target range to 40-45 days from 43-48 days citing faster claims payment cycle times. We nudge up EPS ests although maintain Hold rating with shares within 6% of our price target." Deutsche Bank maintains a $36 PT on CNC.
