In other recent news, Molina Healthcare reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, which fell below analyst expectations due to rising medical costs. The company posted adjusted earnings of $5.48 per share, missing the anticipated $5.82 per share, despite a 15% year-over-year increase in revenue to $11.43 billion, which surpassed the consensus estimate of $10.94 billion. The medical care ratio, a critical metric indicating medical costs as a percentage of premium revenue, worsened to 90.4% from 88.6% in the previous year. Additionally, Molina Healthcare has adjusted its full-year guidance downward. In light of these developments, Cantor Fitzgerald downgraded Molina Healthcare from Overweight to Neutral, citing concerns over future margin performance in its Medicaid business. The firm’s price target for Molina was significantly reduced to $210.00 from $312.00. However, Cantor Fitzgerald had previously maintained an Overweight rating with a $312.00 price target following Molina’s revised 2025 guidance, expressing disappointment over management’s earlier clarity issues. These recent developments have brought Molina Healthcare’s financial strategies and future performance into focus for investors.
