10 Health Care Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

U.S. stocks inched higher midday Wednesday, as investors digested upbeat economic data while keeping an optimistic tone ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy decision and a wave of key tech earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46693997/wall-street-earnings-preview-microsoft-apple-meta-amazon-mastercard-visa">due after the bell. </a>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The QQQ ETF is on track for a fourth consecutive monthly gain. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QQQ">See the chart here.</a></li>
</ul>
The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.2%, the Nasdaq added 0.4%, and the Dow Jones hovered near the flatline. Small-cap stocks outperformed, with the Russell 2000 up 0.6%. 
Markets widely expect the Federal Reserve to keep rates steady at 4.25%-4.50%, but with two policymakers already showing preference for a cut, the decision could mark the most divided vote since 1993.
On the trade front, former President Donald Trump announced a new 25% tariff on Indian imports, set to take effect Aug. 1. 
Advance GDP data showed the U.S. economy grew at an annualized 3.0% in the second quarter of 2025, a sharp rebound from the previous quarter's 0.5% contraction and well above the 2.4% consensus, powered by strong consumer spending and a decline in imports. 
In the labor market, private payrolls rose by 104,000 in July, the strongest gain since March and a solid beat on the 75,000 forecast—reversing a contraction in June. 
Commodities were in focus as WTI crude extended its rally, surging 1.5% on the day to hit $70 a barrel, driven by geopolitical tensions following Trump's new 10-day ultimatum to Russia over peace talks with Ukraine. The three-day gain now totals over 8%.
Gold slipped 1% to $3,290 per ounce as the U.S. dollar strengthened on the back of robust economic data. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady around $118,000.

Stocks Rise Ahead Of Fed Meeting, Oil Jumps To $70: What's Moving Markets Wednesday?

As the healthcare landscape evolves with new legislation and shifting demographics, Humana Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUM#NYSE">HUM</a>) is adapting to these changes through strategic adjustments. This adaptability is reflected in their second-quarter earnings report, which exceeded analysts&#8217; expectations despite a decline in adjusted EPS <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">compared to last year.</a>
Humana on Wednesday posted a second-quarter adjusted EPS of $6.27, down from $6.96 a year ago, beating the consensus of $5.90.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>HUM stock is on the move, climbing higher. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HUM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">See the chart here.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Humana&#8217;s Earnings Beat Raises Eyebrows</h2>
The company reported sales of $32.39 billion, beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46715297/humana-reports-second-quarter-2025-financial-results-raises-full-year-2025-adjusted-eps-and-revenu" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $31.89 billion</a>.
Increased revenue was driven by higher per-member Medicare and state-based contract premiums, with the Medicare increase primarily resulting from an increased direct subsidy due to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), as well as membership growth in the company&#8217;s state-based contracts and stand-alone PDP businesses.

Humana&nbsp;ended the quarter with 14.84 million in total medical membership, down from 16.19 million a year ago.
Individual Medicare Advantage membership&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://humana.gcs-web.com/static-files/b62138dc-721b-460e-8579-557be91ba7da" rel="noreferrer noopener">reached</a> 5.23 million, down from 5.62 million a year ago.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Membership Declines Signal Deeper Issues?</h2>
Medicare stand-alone PDP membership was 2.43 million, up from 2.34 million the previous year. The insurance segment benefit ratio of 89.9% aligns with the previously disclosed expectation of approximately 90%.
Guidance: Humana expects 2025 adjusted earnings of approximately $17 per share compared to prior guidance of $16.25 and the consensus of $16.36, supported by solid execution and results.
Updated adjusted EPS guidance now contemplates approximately $100 million of incremental investments to improve member and patient outcomes and support operational excellence, positioning the company for long-term success.
Revenue is expected to be at least&nbsp;$128 billion in 2025, compared to the consensus estimate of $126.72 billion and the previous&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;of&nbsp;$126 billion—$128 billion, supported by better than anticipated individual MA membership and higher than expected payor-agnostic patient growth and script volumes in CenterWell, the company <a target="_blank" href="https://humana.gcs-web.com/static-files/ec7b3f73-7995-4441-afab-90093d8798e9" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in prepared remarks on Wednesday.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How The Inflation Reduction Act Impacts Revenue</h2>
Sales guidance includes insurance segment sales of at least $123 billion, compared to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/45108509/humana-does-not-alter-2025-outlook-despite-sales-miss-and-medicare-membership-decline" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior guidance of $121 billion—$123 billion</a>, and center-well segment sales of at least $21.5 billion, up from the previous range of $20.5 billion—$21.5 billion.
The insurer anticipates a 2025 decline of &#8216;up to 500,000&#8217; individual MA members, compared to the previous expectation of a decline of &#8216;approximately 550,000&#8217; members.
For 2025, Humana expects its insurance segment&#8217;s benefit ratio guidance of approximately 90.1-90.5%.

' Medicare Part D Drug Plan Premiums Set to Rise'- WSJ

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Wall Street rallied as a wave of new trade deals — including agreements with Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines — fueled optimism, pushing the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq to fresh record highs. President Donald Trump escalated pressure on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell during an in-person visit, demanding lower rates in light of trade easing.
Investor sentiment remained upbeat despite rising political friction. Treasury yields increased modestly on speculation about compromised Fed independence, amid calls from influential voices like Mohamed El‑Erian suggesting Powell resign to preserve central bank autonomy.
Looking ahead, markets are watching progress in U.S.–EU trade negotiations — including a meeting between Trump and Ursula von der Leyen — and upcoming economic data. Investor focus is also on whether pressure on the Fed may influence its rate path or institutional reputation.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

The Bulls

Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>) missed Wall Street expectations in its second-quarter earnings report Wednesday, triggering a selloff across the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/guidance/25/07/46273556/molina-healthcare-says-higher-medical-cost-trends-bite-cuts-profit-guidance">healthcare insurance sector</a>.

What Happened: On Wednesday after close, Molina reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $5.48 per share, missing the consensus of $6.21 and the preliminary expectation of approximately $5.50 per share.
The insurance company reported sales&nbsp;of $11.43 billion, beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $10.93 billion</a>.
Molina&#8217;s second quarter results reflect a &#8220;challenging medical cost trend environment," said Joseph Zubretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The current earnings pressure we are experiencing results from what we believe to be a temporary dislocation between premium rates and medical cost trend which has recently accelerated.&#8221;
Molina is still performing near its long-term target ranges, and the long-term outlook remains the same, he added.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The consolidated Medical Care Ratio (MCR) for the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46586998/molina-healthcare-reports-second-quarter-2025-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">second quarter of 2025 was 90.4%</a>.</li>
<li>The Medicaid MCR was 91.3%. The company experienced medical cost pressure due to continued utilization of behavioral health, pharmacy, and inpatient and outpatient services.</li>
<li>The Medicare MCR was 90.0%, reflecting higher utilization among high-acuity members, particularly for long-term services, supports, and pharmacy.</li>
<li>The Marketplace MCR was 85.4%. Approximately 300 basis points were due to prior-year member reconciliations and a higher "new store" MCR related to the ConnectiCare acquisition.</li>

On Wednesday, Molina further revised its 2025 earnings guidance from $21.50-$22.50 to over $19 per share.
Notably, Centene withdrew its 2025 GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS guidance. This stems from its initial review of 2025 industry data from Wakely, an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46222916/centenes-guidance-withdrawal-spooks-sector-oscar-health-stock-falls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">independent actuarial firm</a>.
Molina Healthcare forecasts fiscal 2025 sales&nbsp;of $44 billion compared to the consensus of $44.19 billion.
It forecasts a 2025 consolidated MCR of 90.2%, with Medicaid MCR of 90.9%, Medicare MCR of 90% and Marketplace MCR of 85.1%.
Readers should also note that the largest insurance company, UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), is also trading lower on Thursday. In an SEC filing on Thursday, the company said it has now begun complying with the Department's formal criminal and civil requests. UnitedHealth says it has full confidence in its practices and is committed to working cooperatively with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/07/46605691/unitedhealth-under-federal-scrutiny-reaffirms-integrity-of-its-medicare-operations" rel="noreferrer noopener">Department throughout this process</a>.

Centene, Cigna, Others Drop As Molina's Results Rattle Sector

Shares of health insurers are trading lower in sympathy with Molina Healthcare, which issued soft guidance. The sector may also be under pressure after UnitedHealth said  it has now begun complying with the DOJ's formal criminal and civil requests.

Shares of Humana Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUM#NYSE">HUM</a>) are trading lower Friday after the company lost a legal battle over Medicare bonus payments. 
What To Know: A Texas district court dismissed Humana's lawsuit, upholding the government's decision to downgrade the company's Medicare quality ratings. The ruling is expected to reduce Humana's Medicare bonus payments beginning in 2026, posing a risk to future profitability. Following the court's decision, Humana shares dropped as much as 7.5% earlier in the session before settling lower, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-18/humana-loses-bid-to-reverse-medicare-bonus-payment-cut?embedded-checkout=true">according to Bloomberg.</a>
The ruling adds to growing scrutiny of the private health insurance industry, particularly concerning claim denials. Recent data compiled by Komodo Health for <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/health/health-insurance-prescription-claim-denials.html#:~:text=Prescription%20drug%20denials%20by%20private,nation's%20private%20health%20insurance%20system.">The New York Time</a>s revealed a 25% increase in prescription drug denials by private insurers between 2016 and 2023. 
Humana's denial rates reportedly declined in the last two years of the study period but the industry as a whole saw higher rejection rates.
HUM Price Action: Humana shares were down 1.66% at $219.85 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro.</a>
