Vegas firm’s stock jumps 17 percent

Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2000 | 11:41 a.m.

Sierra Health Services Inc. stock rose 63 cents, or 17 percent, to $4.25 on Tuesday after the managed health-care company was raised to "buy" from "neutral" in a report by analyst Dennis Emanuel at Salomon Smith Barney.

The upgrade came amid indications Sierra, the largest health insurer in Nevada, will refocus its attention on its core Nevada market and continue to back away from its troubled Texas operations.
