On CAPS, 94% of the 933 members who have rated WellPoint believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include pchop123 and fellow Fool Sean Williams (TMFUltraLong), the seventh-ranked stock picker in all of CAPS.

Late last month , pchop123 touched on several of WellPoint's positives:

Moving up especially as people continue & rightfully so, continue to slam Obamacare. Some yield & attractive PE. Stock could jump as much as 50% over the next year on favorable developments.

In fact, WellPoint currently trades a rather paltry EV/EBITDA multiple of 2.4. That represents a clear discount to competitors like Aetna (4.7), CIGNA (5.2), and UnitedHealth (5.4).

Sean elaborates on the UnitedHealth bull case:

Best run health benefits company out there. Almost half of the company's value is tied up in net cash, the other comes from its extremely strong cash flow. Very profitable, [traded] well below book value and at just 7 times forward earnings. Looks good to me.
