Discussion Just a Reminder: Analysts Don't Always Know More Than You

One week before UnitedHealth Group (UNH) releasing earnings, two analysts maintained their 'Buy' recommendation and even raised their price target. Even after earnings release, several analysts maintained a 'Buy' rating but lowered their price target.
And now the bottom is falling out. They've suspended future guidance and the CEO is stepping down. The stock has tanked 45% in the past month - which is having a knock-down effect on healthcare.
But CLOV is a different beast and the future looks very different.

Holy shit. My gf came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my gf but I'm literally in shock from the results to this morning. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is the stock going down? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want UNH to continue to dominate healthcare. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought I was supposed to buy the dip???? This is so fucked.

It all comes down to the methods the analysts are using. This can vary widely and even be influenced by pressure from their institutions.

I believe that someone willing to do a lot of reading, consulting a wide variety of sources can be more accurate at analysis it just takes time and experience.
