Centene's Recovery Still Has Legs - Further Margin Expansion Ahead
CNC remains a Great Buy, thanks to its promising multi-year margin recovery prospects arising from the drastically raised premiums by the mid 30%s. While the management already expects to see "some degree of membership attrition," I am of the opinion that this is an inevitable (and temporary) pain for its future margin recovery. The raised FY2025 guidance and the bottoming in its FQ3'25 HBR imply the worst may be behind us, with FY2026 likely to bring forth improved numbers.
