RTTNews | 44 days ago

(RTTNews) - Health insurer Humana, Inc., while reporting higher second-quarter profit with strong revenue growth, on Wednesday trimmed fiscal 2026 reported earnings view, but maintained adjusted earnings and revenue outlook.

In pre-market activity, the shares were losing around 8.87 percent, trading at $354.38, after closing Tuesday's regular trading 2 percent higher.

For fiscal 2026, the company now expects earnings per share to be at least $6.52, lower than the previous estimate of 'at least $8.36'. In fiscal 2025, earnings per share were $9.84.

Further, Humana continues to expect adjusted earnings per share to be at least $9.00, compared to $17.14 a year ago. The anticipated year-over-year decline in adjusted earnings per share reflects the Star Ratings headwind for Bonus Year 2026, net of mitigation.

In the second quarter, Humana's net earnings totaled $694 million, or $5.73 per share, compared to $545 million or $4.51 per share last year.

Adjusted earnings were $1.248 billion or $7.61 per share for the period, compared to $6.27 per share a year ago.
