September 20, 2025
Centene Corporation announced it has withdrawn its 2025 earnings forecast, citing a sharp decline in expected revenue from its marketplace plans. This decision followed a review of marketplace risk adjustment data, indicating a significant financial headwind. The company's shares experienced a substantial drop in extended trading following the announcement, reflecting investor concern over the unexpected revenue pressure. This withdrawal creates considerable uncertainty regarding Centene's profitability for the current fiscal year. The shortfall in projected 2025 risk adjustment transfer revenue from its Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace business is a key factor in this revised outlook. Centene's ability to accurately predict and manage these transfers is critical to its financial performance in this segment.
