Shares of Alignment Healthcare recover after a roughly 17% drop following a whistleblower lawsuit, rising about 6% in midday trading. KeyBanc analyst Matthew Gillmor affirms an "overweight" rating and a $28 price target, calls the market reaction excessive and views the sell-off as a buying opportunity. Alignment categorically denied the allegations and points to a prior independent accounting review that found the claims unfounded. Support also came from a positive overall market and gains by competitors in the Medicare Advantage segment, while legal uncertainty limits a full recovery for now. » Más en de.investing.com
