As is common with our watch lists, a stock is being acquired at what we believe is a premium. CTRX is being acquired by UnitedHealth (UNH), a Dow Jones Industrial Average component. At the time of our watch list last year, CTRX was within 3% of the low. Additionally, the announcement of the purchase by UNH followed the pattern of many companies buying the intended target after a gain over of +24% within the year and +177% within the last 5 years.
