Earnings Outlook: Humana raised its full-year 2025 EPS outlook from approximately $16.25 to approximately $17, driven by better-than-expected performance in CenterWell Pharmacy and individual Medicare Advantage (MA) membership growth. This represents a notable increase in expected earnings, reflecting optimism about underlying business fundamentals.

Growth in Medicare Advantage Membership: Individual MA membership declined less than anticipated, with improvements attributed to an increase in returning members during OEP, suggesting effective retention strategies. This positions Humana favorably against competitors who are experiencing challenges related to membership and profitability.

Investment Focus: Humana plans to invest an additional approximately $100 million in areas that enhance member outcomes and operational efficiencies, particularly in in-home visits combined with virtual health services. This complements the strategic emphasis on delivering high-quality care while potentially mitigating risks associated with member experience and satisfaction.
