Anthem, Inc. (NYSE:ANTM) is seeking acquisitions. John E. Gallina, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “As we look at our uses in order, reinvesting in the business. We still believe that there are some M&A opportunities out there. Tuck-in acquisitions are presenting themselves. We've been in contact with a few companies in terms of merger and acquisition opportunities. We need to do things like sign NDAs, perform due diligence. It's very premature at this point in time to declare anything, other than to say that it's very much part of a strategic assessment. And then as we work our way through those, we can finalize what a potential amount of share buyback may be for the remainder of '17 into 2018. So it's all about maintaining the flexibility while ensuring that we're reinvesting in the business and looking at the tuck-in acquisitions that we believe will help support our growth drivers for the future.”
