Molina Healthcare Shares Drop Amid Weak Revenue Outlook Despite Earnings Beat
Molina Healthcare (NYSE:MOH) shares fell more than 9% in premarket trading after the health insurer issued a weaker-than-expected full-year revenue forecast, overshadowing its second-quarter earnings beat. The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.51 per share for Q2, exceeding analyst expectations, and quarterly revenue reached approximately $10.87 billion, aligning with estimates. However, the stock declined due to concerns over slowing growth and Medicaid headwinds. Molina maintained its 2026 full-year revenue forecast at around $42 billion—below analysts' consensus of about $44.28 billion—and CEO Joseph Zubretsky described 2026 as a 'trough year' for Medicaid pretax margins. Membership also declined to approximately 4.9 million from 5.0 million in the prior quarter, reflecting ongoing enrollment pressures and regulatory challenges across its business segments.
