After hours on Oct. 21, Molina reported third-quarter results that included a 3% decline in total revenue and a 52% decline in adjusted EPS to $0.89, although the latter was above FactSet consensus of $0.79. Management also maintained its 2026 guidance but trimmed its 2027 preliminary view.
Molina could become an acquisition target for one of the larger MCOs that want more exposure to government-sponsored programs.
Molina continues to face more competition, as its Medicaid peers and large commercial insurers aim to expand into new states and new populations.
