Express Scripts Holding Company (NASDAQ:ESRX) is one of the few healthcare plan providers whose shares have remained lackluster throughout the year and are currently trading in red. It seems hedge funds had anticipated this performance and that’s why the number of investors with long positions declined by two during the April-June period, even though its stock went up by 2.6% and the aggregate value of investors’ stakes in the company saw a 2.8% rise during the same period. Express Scripts Holding Company (NASDAQ:ESRX) recently named Eric Slusser as the new CFO and executive vice president. On September 13, analysts at Deutsche Bank reiterated their ‘Hold’ rating and $96 price target on the stock, which represents a potential upside of nearly 20% from its current trading price.
