Centene Corporation (CNC), despite facing significant historical losses, is on the rise with a 12.7% stock increase, a strong FY25 outlook, and a four-star rating as acknowledged by Jim Cramer. Due to the SNAP disruptions, Centene and Health Net have invested $1.1M to combat food insecurity in California, showcasing corporate social responsibility. However, Centene had to cut its outlook due to a $1.8B ACA revenue hit, and Bank of America downgraded CNC's stock performance to underperform. Potential changes to ACA subsidies could significantly impact CNC, an issue further highlighted as Centene relies heavily on such subsidies.
Despite facing potential shareholder lawsuits and declining enrolment, this healthcare giant managed to beat Q3 earnings and revenue estimates. Notably, shares have soared at an unexpected profit report, after an ACA subsidy extension proposal, and following their reaffirmed profit forecasts. Nevertheless, issues such as escalating medical costs and lowered price targets from Mizuho project some trouble ahead. Barclays maintains an Equal-Weight Recommendation on Centene, with some investors seeing the rocky quarter as a possible investment opportunity.
