Stock events for Humana, Inc. (HUM)

Humana's stock price has experienced fluctuations in the past six months. The stock has risen by 7.64% over the last six months and 15.48% over the last year, but decreased by 8.15% in the past month. Recent positive market sentiment and a stock price surge of 10.56% were driven by positive star ratings and a strong business outlook. Humana also achieved success in a lawsuit concerning Medicare Advantage Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) rules against the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). However, Humana's 2026 star ratings have declined, with only 20% of members in plans rated 4.0 stars or higher, down from 25% expected for 2025. Despite this setback, the company reaffirmed its 2025 earnings outlook and long-term strategic earnings plan.

Demand Seasonality affecting Humana, Inc.’s stock price

Demand for Humana's products and services exhibits seasonality, particularly concerning its Medicare offerings. The Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP), which runs from October 15 through December 7, is a critical time for plan selection and enrollment. This period drives a seasonal increase in demand for enrollment services, leading Humana to hire seasonal Medicare Enrollment Representatives.
