Humana Dodges Cost Concerns, Touts MA Growth in 1Q Earnings Report

Although the managed care earnings season kicked off with concerns about rising medical costs, equities analysts appeared optimistic about Humana Inc.’s prospects after the insurer reported its first-quarter 2023 financial results on April 26. They seemed particularly impressed by Humana’s performance during the Annual Election Period (AEP) and Open Enrollment Period (OEP) for Medicare Advantage customers.

Humana’s first-quarter results “brought forth a positive preliminary look at 2024 MA rates, strong MLR [medical loss ratio] upside aided by favorable development, and 2023 AEP/OEP details that draw a positive look into the composition of members, retention, and margins,” SVB Securities analyst Whit Mayo wrote in an April 26 note to investors.
