Centene Corporation's multi-year margin recovery is underpinned by the aggressive premium hikes of mid +30%, the increased vigilance against fraud, and the reduction of unnecessary utilization. This is on top of the near-term pain arising from the drastic membership attrition, albeit with it likely to deliver a healthier, more profitable membership base. The same has been observed in CNC's stable HBR performance over the past few quarters and the lower guidance in FY2026, with FY2026 likely bringing forth improved performance metrics.

Centene Corporation delivered strong revenue growth in 2025, but earnings and profitability sharply deteriorated, driven by surging medical costs and adverse policy impacts. Despite a net loss of $6.67 billion in 2025, CNC management projects 2026 EPS above $1.98 and adjusted EPS above $3, with improved HBR and profitability. I upgrade CNC to a soft, speculative Buy based on management's 2026 guidance but highlight substantial uncertainty and risk from marketplace enrollment and policy shifts.

CNC incurs a Q4 adjusted loss per share as medical costs spike, but revenues jump nearly 22% on strong PDP and Marketplace premium growth.
