MOH fell 19.34% to $157.39 in after-hours trading on Wednesday after the company posted its third-quarter earnings.

Q3 Results Show Year-Over-Year Decline

The company said Medicaid added $3.52 per diluted share to adjusted earnings, partly offset by a $1.68 per-share loss from Medicare and Marketplace results.

Full-Year Guidance Revised

Molina Healthcare raised its premium revenue forecast to about $42.5 billion and now expects full-year 2025 adjusted earnings of roughly $14 per diluted share.

The managed care company attributed the outlook change to rising medical costs across all segments, noting that its Marketplace business is facing "unprecedented" cost trends likely to persist through year-end.

2026 Preliminary Outlook

The company’s preliminary 2026 outlook for adjusted earnings per share is expected to approximate full-year 2025 guidance.

This initial outlook includes less exposure to the Marketplace, with segment earnings expected to be at least break even.
