In the report, Jefferies noted, “MGLN's new CEO has outlined two new growth initiatives to drive LT growth: Complete Care and Pharmacy Solutions. While we estimate top-line could double by 2018, we believe it will be slow to develop. Meanwhile, 2014 EPS will likely be down and MGLN faces multi-year margin pressure. However, MGLN's cash stockpile/repurchases provide downside protection. With the stock near its high, we initiate with a Hold and $56 PT.”

Magellan Health Services closed on Monday at $54.82.
