Humana’s 4Q Margins Offset Worries About MA Enrollment
Despite Humana Inc.’s recently downgraded Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollment projections for 2022, Wall Street analysts praised the company’s high margins after the insurer reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 earnings on Feb. 2.
Humana posted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.24 for the quarter and $20.64 for the full year — both slightly above the company’s expectations — and reaffirmed its previously lowered projection of MA enrollment growth of 150,000 to 200,000 individuals in 2022.
