Second-Quarter Earnings Preview

Christine Arnold at Morgan Stanley is bullish on UnitedHealth (UNH). She’s expecting earnings of 68 cents a share and thinks the stock could trade at the high end of its five-year historical range once the options issue is resolved.
That’s not all. Yesterday, Banc of America Securities upgraded Respironics (RESP) from neutral to buy.
