Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Humana delivered a Q1 performing in line to better than expectations across all early indicators, with revenue growing 23% year-over-year as the approximately 1 million new MA members contributed their first full quarter. The 2027 bid strategy prioritized margin trajectory to at least 3% by 2028, and Stars BY28 tracking was on track with BY29 showing strong early starts. Management maintained the at-least-$9 adjusted EPS guidance for 2026 with IBNR reserving up 35% versus 22% membership growth, reflecting prudent conservatism.
