However, Clov is trending! According to wsbsentiment.io , CLOV is the fifth most mentioned stock in the last 24 hours. And it is as a matter of fact that no analyst has predicted the meme stocks accurately. Though indicators don’t look good for CLOV for the short term. Also, to make its mark it will still have to compete with healthcare behemoths like UnitedHealth Group, Anthem, and Cigna, who all have their own Medicare programs. Though, after the current sell-off, the stock appears to be a decent long-term investment at this pricing. Let’s watch it out.
