摘要

When news broke on July 6 that managed-care provider UnitedHealth Group was in talks to acquire a competitor, PacifiCare Health Systems, the market reacted instantaneously. After the merger talks were announced at 11∶38 a.m., UnitedHealth shares rose briefly from $53.25, then fell to their day's low of $52.25 before recovering part of their losses. But it took market participants another 20 minutes to recognize that the news might also affect Medco Health Solutions, a pharmacy benefit manager that works with UnitedHealth. Because PacifiCare has an in-house PBM, it was possible that Medco would lose UnitedHealth's business if the merger went ahead. At 11∶38 a.m., Medco's shares were trading at $52.80, and they held steady until noon, when the stock began falling to its intraday low of $48.50, before rebounding slightly. Traders quick to recognize the Medco link could have profited by selling the company's shares before noon. Later that day Medco issued a press release quoting UnitedHealth's CEO affirming that UnitedHealth had no intention of changing its relationship with Medco.
