Morgan analyst Lisa Gill assigned an Overweight rating to UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) with a $418 price target, suggesting that the company could rebound by 48% in the coming 12 months.

She stated that the company’s shift from “unaware” in February to “proactively cooperating” with the Department of Justice isn’t surprising, as she views the company’s engagement as part of a broader defense of its practices. The analyst expressed an optimistic outlook for UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH), noting:

“While we are not lawyers, we note that if the court were to view this case similarly to previous ones brought forth by the DOJ regarding the False Claims Act (FCA), we believe that this would place the burden of proof on the DOJ to prove improper coding.”
