Humana Inc. reaffirmed its full-year 2025 earnings guidance of approximately $13.77 diluted GAAP EPS and $17.00 adjusted EPS. Management explained that Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure used to present core operating performance alongside GAAP EPS and that a reconciliation is provided in the filing.

The company said it is not satisfied with 2026 Medicare Advantage (MA) Star Ratings but reported tactical operational improvements during the final months of the 2026 measurement period and a strategic, data-driven shift in its Stars program. Humana expects a return to Top Quartile MA Star Ratings for 2027 after incorporating updated thresholds into forecasts and executing a MA contract diversification strategy that it says will materially raise the share of members in contracts rated four stars and above versus the current ~20% level. The company also remains confident in its 2026 Individual MA pricing and benefit design and expects to double individual MA pre-tax margin in 2026 (excluding Stars) and to return to membership growth in 2026.

Humana Inc. ha confermato la guida agli utili per l'intero anno 2025 di circa $13,77 per azione diluita GAAP e $17,00 per azione aggiustata. La direzione ha spiegato che l'EPS Adjusted è una misura non GAAP utilizzata per presentare la performance operativa di base insieme all'EPS GAAP e che una riconciliazione è fornita nel filing.

L'azienda ha dichiarato di non essere pienamente soddisfatta delle Star Ratings Medicare Advantage (MA) 2026, ma ha riportato miglioramenti operativi tattici negli ultimi mesi della finestra di misurazione 2026 e un cambiamento strategico, guidato dai dati, nel programma Stars. Humana prevede di tornare a una Classifica MA nel primo quartile nel 2027, dopo aver incorporato soglie aggiornate nelle previsioni e aver attuato una strategia di diversificazione dei contratti MA che, secondo l'azienda, aumenterà sostanzialmente la quota di membri in contratti valutati quattro stelle o superiore rispetto all'attuale livello di ~20%. L'azienda resta anche fiduciosa sul pricing e sul design dei benefici per il MA Individual 2026 e si aspetta raddoppiare il margine pre-tasse dell'individuo MA nel 2026 (escludendo Stars) e di tornare a crescere l'adesione nel 2026.

Humana Inc. reafirmó su guía de ganancias para todo el año 2025 de aproximadamente $13.77 por acción diluida GAAP y $17.00 por acción ajustada. La dirección explicó que el EPS Ajustado es una medida no-GAAP utilizada para presentar el desempeño operativo central junto al EPS GAAP y que se proporciona una conciliación en la presentación.

La compañía dijo que no está satisfecha con las Star Ratings de Medicare Advantage (MA) 2026, pero reportó mejoras operativas tácticas durante los últimos meses de la ventana de medición 2026 y un cambio estratégico, impulsado por datos, en su programa Stars. Humana espera volver a las Star Ratings de MA en el cuartil superior para 2027 tras incorporar umbrales actualizados en las previsiones y ejecutar una estrategia de diversificación de contratos MA que, según dijo la empresa, aumentará sustancialmente la proporción de miembros en contratos calificados con cuatro estrellas o más frente al nivel actual de aproximadamente 20%. La compañía también mantiene su confianza en los precios y el diseño de beneficios del MA Individual 2026 y espera duplicar el margen pre-impuestos del MA individual en 2026 (excluyendo Stars) y volver a crecer la membresía en 2026.

Humana Inc. 는 2025년 회계연도 전반의 기대순이익 가이던스를 GAAP 희석 EPS 약 $13.77 및 조정 EPS $17.00로 재확인했습니다. 경영진은 조정 EPS가 GAAP EPS와 함께 핵심 영업실적을 제시하기 위해 비-GAAP 지표로 사용되며, 공시에 조정지표에 대한 화해가 제공된다고 설명했습니다.

회사는 2026년 Medicare Advantage(MA) Star Ratings에 만족하지 않는다고 밝혔지만 2026년 측정 기간의 말기에 전략적 데이터 기반의 Stars 프로그램 전환과 함께 전술적 운영 개선이 있었다고 보고했습니다. Humana는 2027년 1사분위 MA Star Ratings로의 회복을 기대하며, 예측에 업데이트된 임계치를 반영하고 MA 계약 다각화 전략을 실행하겠다고 밝혔습니다. 이 전략은 현재 약 20%인 수준에 비해 네 개의 별 이상으로 평가된 계약의 멤버 비중을 크게 증가시킬 것이라고 회사는 말합니다. 또한 2026년 개별 MA 가격 및 혜택 설계에 자신감을 유지하며 2026년에 개별 MA의 사전세 마진을 두 배로 확대(Stars 제외)하고 2026년에는 회원 증가를 회복할 것으로 기대합니다.

Humana Inc. confirme son objectif de bénéfices pour l'année complète 2025 d'environ $13,77 par action diluée GAAP et $17,00 par action ajustée. La direction explique que l'EPS ajusté est une mesure non-GAAP utilisée pour présenter la performance opérationnelle centrale aux côtés de l'EPS GAAP et qu'une reconciliation est fournie dans le rapport.

La société a déclaré ne pas être satisfaite des étoiles MA (Medicare Advantage) 2026, mais a enregistré des améliorations opérationnelles tactiques au cours des derniers mois de la période de mesure 2026 et un pivot stratégique, axé sur les données, dans son programme Stars. Humana s'attend à revenir à un classement MA de premier quartile en 2027 après avoir intégré des seuils mis à jour dans les prévisions et avoir mis en œuvre une stratégie de diversification des contrats MA qui, selon l'entreprise, augmentera considérablement la part des membres dans les contrats notés quatre étoiles et plus par rapport au niveau actuel d'environ 20%. L'entreprise demeure également confiante dans les prix et la conception des prestations du MA Individuel 2026 et prévoit de doubler la marge pré-imposte de MA individuel en 2026 (à l'exclusion des Stars) et de reprendre la croissance de l'adhésion en 2026.

Humana Inc. bekräftigte seine Gesamtkostenprognose 2025 von ca. $13,77 GAAP diluter EPS und $17,00 bereinigtes EPS. Das Management erläuterte, dass bereinigtes EPS eine non-GAAP-Maßnahme ist, um die Kerngesamtleistung neben GAAP-EPS darzustellen, und dass eine Gegenüberstellung im Einreichungsdokument bereitgestellt wird.

Das Unternehmen sagte, dass es mit den 2026 Medicare Advantage (MA) Star Ratings nicht zufrieden ist, aber in den letzten Monaten des 2026er Messzeitraums taktische betriebliche Verbesserungen meldete und eine strategische, datengetriebene Verschiebung in seinem Stars-Programm vornimmt. Humana erwartet eine Rückkehr zu Top-Quartile MA Star Ratings im Jahr 2027, nachdem aktualisierte Schwellenwerte in die Prognosen aufgenommen und eine MA-Vertragsdiversifizierungsstrategie umgesetzt wird, von der das Unternehmen glaubt, dass sie den Anteil der Mitglieder in Verträgen mit vier Sternen und mehr deutlich erhöhen wird. Das Unternehmen bleibt auch zuversichtlich hinsichtlich der Preisgestaltung und des Vorteilsdesigns von MA Individual 2026 und erwartet, die individuelle MA-Rendite vor Steuern im Jahr 2026 zu verdoppeln (Stars ausgeschlossen) und im Jahr 2026 wieder zu Mitgliederwachstum zu kommen.

Humana Inc. أكدت من جديد توجيهات الأرباح للسنة المالية 2025 كاملة بنحو $13.77 للسهم المخفف وفق GAAP وبـ $17.00 للسهم المعدل. وأوضح الإدارة أن EPS المعدل هو مقياس غير GAAP يستخدم لعرض الأداء التشغيلي الأساسي إلى جانب EPS GAAP، وأن هناك مصفوفة/مصالحة مقدمة في الملف.

وقالت الشركة إنها غير راضٍ عن تصنيفات النجوم في Medicare Advantage (MA) 2026 لكنها أبلغت عن تحسن تشغيلي تكتيكي خلال الأشهر الأخيرة من فترة القياس 2026 وتحول استراتيجي يعتمد على البيانات في برنامج Stars. وتتوقع Humana عودة إلى أعلى الأرباع في MA Star Ratings لعام 2027 بعد دمج العتبات المحدثة في التوقعات وتنفيذ استراتيجية تنويع عقود MA التي تقول إن ستزيد بشكل مادي من حصة الأعضاء في العقود المصنفة أربع نجوم وما فوق مقارنة بالمستوى الحالي نحو 20%. كما تظل الشركة واثقة من تسعير Individual MA لعام 2026 وتصميم المنافع وتتوقع مضاعفة هامش MA الفردي قبل الضرائب في 2026 (باستثناء Stars) والعودة إلى نمو العضوية في 2026.

Humana Inc. 重新确认其2025财年的全年盈利指引,约为$13.77美元摊薄GAAP每股收益,以及$17.00美元的调整后每股收益。管理层解释称,调整后EPS是一种非GAAP指标,用于与GAAP EPS一起展示核心运营绩效,披露文件中提供了两者的对账。

公司表示对2026年Medicare Advantage (MA)星级评级并不满意,但在2026年评估期的最后几个月报告了战术性运营改进,并在其Stars计划中进行了以数据驱动的战略性转变。Humana预计到2027年在更新阈值纳入预测并执行MA合同多元化策略后,将回归MA星级评级的前四分之一。该策略将显著提高合同中得分为四星及以上的成员比例,相较于当前约20%的水平。公司在2026年对个体MA定价和福利设计也保持信心,预计在2026年实现个体MA税前利润率翻倍(不含Stars),并在2026年恢复会员增长。

Positive
  • Affirmed FY2025 guidance of approximately $13.77 GAAP EPS and $17.00 adjusted EPS, providing clarity on near-term expectations
  • Plan to double individual MA pre-tax margin in 2026 (excluding Stars), indicating targeted margin improvement in the individual MA business
  • MA contract diversification strategy expected to materially increase the share of members in 4+ star contracts for 2027 versus the current ~20%
  • Operational improvements and strategic shift in the Stars program with an "always-on" approach supported by data and analytics
Negative
  • Not satisfied with 2026 MA Star Ratings, which can negatively affect payments and competitive positioning
  • Current share of members in 4+ star contracts is approximately 20%, implying limited exposure to higher-rated contract payments today
  • Key reconciliation details and quantification of expected impacts (scale of individual MA relative to total earnings, exact enrollment shift) are not provided in this filing

Insights

TL;DR: Guidance reaffirmation and stated plan to double individual MA pre-tax margin are constructive, but Star Ratings shortfall is a near-term operational headwind.

The company’s affirmation of FY2025 guidance ($13.77 GAAP EPS; $17.00 adjusted EPS) provides clarity for investors and reduces near-term forecast uncertainty. Management’s target to double individual MA pre-tax margin in 2026 (excluding Stars) signals material operating leverage or pricing actions in that business line; however, the impact depends on the scale of individual MA relative to total earnings, which is not quantified in this filing. The 2026 Star Ratings outcome is a reputational and payment-quality metric that can affect plan payments and enrollment; Humana’s planned contract diversification and operational changes aim to mitigate this but timeline and magnitude of benefits are not detailed here.

TL;DR: Operational improvements and contract diversification address Star-related weaknesses, but Star metrics remain central to MA performance and reimbursement.

Humana’s description of an "always-on" Stars program and use of data and analytics aligns with industry best practices for quality improvement. Increasing the proportion of members in 4+ star contracts should improve quality-weighted payments in 2027, assuming the company successfully shifts enrollment and maintains ratings. The company’s confidence in 2026 pricing and benefit design and a stated plan to return to membership growth suggest competitive repositioning ahead of the 2026 Annual Election Period, but specifics on markets, timing, and expected enrollment shifts are not included in this disclosure.

2026 Medicare Advantage Star Ratings

Based on preliminary 2026 Medicare Advantage (MA) Star Ratings data provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which was inadvertently accessible on CMS Plan Finder for a period of time on October 1, 2025, Humana Inc. (“the Company”) has approximately 1.2 million, or 20%, of its members currently enrolled in plans rated 4 stars and above for 2026, with an average Star rating of 3.61, consistent with the Company’s 2025 average MA Star Rating. The Company also has 14% of members in 4.5 star plans in 2026, up from 3% in 2025.

Importantly, the Company’s preliminary 2026 MA Star Ratings are generally in line with the assumptions utilized in its multiyear financial planning. As a result, there is no change to the 2025 to 2028 incremental earnings potential detail shared at the Company's 2025 Investor Conference on June 16, 2025.

As a reminder, the Company had a short period of time to impact 2026 Star Ratings performance once the 2025 Star Ratings were released in the fall of 2024. While the Company is not satisfied with its 2026 Star Ratings, it is pleased with the tactical operational improvements made during the final months of the 2026 measurement period, creating a solid foundation for the Company’s expected return to Top Quartile results for the 2027 Star Ratings.

Finally, the Company is executing on a MA contract diversification strategy, beginning with the 2026 Annual Election Period beginning on October 15, 2025. As a result, the percent of members expected to be enrolled in contracts rated 4 stars and above in 2027 (the payment year impacted by 2026 MA Star Ratings) is meaningfully higher than the approximately 20% noted above, which is based on current MA membership and contract distribution. This contract diversification strategy, which is also expected to positively impact 2026, was contemplated in the Company’s multiyear financial planning and the detail shared at its recent Investor Conference.

2027 Medicare Advantage Star Ratings Progress Update

After incorporating the 2026 MA Star Rating thresholds into its forecasting process, the Company continues to anticipate a return to Top Quartile results for the 2027 MA Star Ratings.

The Company’s confidence in a return to Top Quartile results is supported by the solid operational progress made for the 2026 MA Star Ratings, combined with further improvements made for the 2027 MA Star Ratings. These improvements reflect a fundamental shift in the Company’s Stars program, based in strategic choices, data and analytics, and an “always-on” approach to Stars improvement.

2026 Individual Medicare Advantage Pricing and Benefit Design

Based on all information available to date, the Company remains confident in its 2026 Individual MA pricing and benefit design, including the expectation that it will double individual MA pre-tax margin in 2026 (excluding Stars), and believes it is positioned to return to membership growth in 2026.

2025 Earnings Guidance

Humana affirms its guidance of approximately $13.77 in diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), or approximately $17.00 in adjusted earnings per common share (“Adjusted EPS”), in each case for the year ending December 31, 2025 (“FY 2025”). This guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in the Company’s press release dated July 30, 2025 and subsequently affirmed in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2025.

The Company has included Adjusted EPS in this current report, a financial measure that is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that this measure, when presented in conjunction with the comparable measure of GAAP EPS, provides a comprehensive perspective to more accurately compare and analyze the Company’s core operating performance over time. Consequently, management uses Adjusted EPS as a consistent and uniform indicator of the Company’s core business operations from period to period, as well as for planning and decision-making purposes and in determination of incentive compensation. Adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP EPS. A reconciliation of GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS follows:

Accordingly, the financial guidance described herein is preliminary, based upon information currently available, and remains subject to change as the company completes its customary closing and review procedures. The Company does not expect changes to FY 2025 adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS guidance. The Company does expect changes to its FY 2025 GAAP EPS guidance that will be reported in the Company’s third quarter 2025 earnings release due to its ongoing value creation and other strategic initiatives.
(b) FY 2025 GAAP EPS guidance and FY 2025 Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS guidance exclude the impact of future value changes to items that are not yet probable or cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
