About
The Cooper Companies, Inc. is a San Ramon, California-based medical device company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: COO) as an S&P 500 Health Care component — operating two segments: CooperVision (soft contact lenses for vision correction globally — the second-largest contact lens manufacturer worldwide) and CooperSurgical (fertility and women's health medical devices including IVF laboratory consumables, assisted reproductive technology products, and gynecological surgical instruments) through approximately 15,000 employees in 130 countries. In fiscal year 2024 (ending October 2024), Cooper Companies reported revenues of $3.87 billion (+9% organic growth), with CooperVision generating $2.56 billion from daily, biweekly, and monthly contact lens sales across sphere, toric (astigmatism-correcting), and multifocal (presbyopia-correcting) lens categories, and CooperSurgical generating $1.31 billion from fertility clinic consumables and women's health surgical products. CEO Albert White has executed CooperVision's strategy of capturing the premium daily silicone hydrogel lens market: silicone hydrogel material (higher oxygen permeability improving eye health versus conventional hydrogel) commands a 20-30% price premium over conventional daily lenses, and Cooper's MyDay (premium daily silicone hydrogel) and clariti (value silicone hydrogel) brands compete across price tiers against Johnson & Johnson Vision's Acuvue Oasys and CIBA Vision's AIR OPTIX brands for the global market shift toward dailies — the fastest-growing contact lens modality as patients prefer the convenience and hygiene of discarding lenses after each day's wear.
Indianapolis BCBS managed care (NYSE: ELV) ~$175B FY2024 revenue; Anthem renamed 2022, BCBS exclusive in 14 states, Carelon health services, Medicaid/MA medical cost pressure competing with UnitedHealth and Cigna.
About
Elevance Health, Inc. (formerly Anthem, Inc.) is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based managed care and health services company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: ELV) as an S&P 500 Health Care component — providing health insurance plans under the Blue Cross Blue Shield brand in 14 states (Indiana, Georgia, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin), Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, and commercial employer-sponsored health plans through Carelon (pharmacy and behavioral health services — formerly IngenioRx) to approximately 47 million medical members through approximately 100,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Elevance Health reported revenues of approximately $175 billion (predominantly premium revenues from employer-sponsored and government-program health plan members), with operating income under pressure from medical cost increases in the Medicaid segment (post-COVID health utilization normalization causing medical costs to exceed Medicaid actuarial pricing expectations set during the pandemic period of reduced care utilization). CEO Gail Boudreaux has executed the company's transformation from Anthem to Elevance Health (rebranded June 2022) — reflecting the broadened value proposition beyond health insurance into health services: Carelon Services (behavioral health, pharmacy benefit management, utilization management, home health services for both Elevance and external health plan clients) represents the strategy of building a health services ecosystem that retains value within the Elevance enterprise rather than paying external PBMs, behavioral health managers, and care management vendors.
