Morgan Stanley named this health stock a top pick because of its business diversification

UnitedHealth 's business diversification and positioning within Medicare can take the health insurance giant a long way, according to Morgan Stanley. Analyst Erin Wright switched her top pick to UnitedHealth from Cigna in the health care facilities and managed care space. Wright is overweight on UnitedHealth and has a price target of $587, which implies the stock could advance 13.9% over the next year from where it ended Monday's session.

And within Optum's 56% share, she said earnings are evenly split between the company's health care, prescription and technology arms. OptumHealth specifically has helped drive strong differentiation in long-term earnings growth compared with peers, Wright said. She noted that UnitedHealth's earnings were closer to 90% from health insurance and 10% from Optum 10 year ago.
