Despite fluctuating markets and some underperformances compared to competitors, Centene Corporation (CNC) continues to prove its strength in the health insurance sector with positive financial results. Third quarter 2024 earnings outperformed expectations, with strong EPS and strategic growth in Medicaid. CEO Sarah London and CFO Andrew Asher have expressed confidence in the company, making significant personal investments in the form of stock acquisitions. While reductions in holdings by certain investment firms have occurred, others like Empowered Funds LLC and Victory Capital Management Inc. have notably increased their stake.
Centene also reaffirmed its 2024 earnings guidance, indicating confidence in its future performance. The company has been lauded for its commitment to health equity, with its subsidiary Health Net being the only US health plan to receive “Health Equity Accreditation Plus” across all lines of business for 2024. Its solid performance, coupled with its strong value proposition, sees many bullish on Centene’s stock. However, a note of caution is sounded concerning pressures on Medicaid, which weighs on stocks of major insurers.
