Description: HUM Humana October 14, 2025
Humana Inc. (NYSE:HUM) is a U.S.-based provider of medical and specialty insurance products, operating through two primary segments: Insurance and CenterWell. The Insurance segment delivers fully-insured medical, dental, vision, and supplemental plans to individuals, employer groups, and the military (e.g., the TRICARE T2017 East Region contract), while also offering administrative-only solutions. CenterWell focuses on senior-focused primary-care centers, pharmacies, and home-based health services such as hospice and home health, extending care to both plan members and third-party payers.
The company administers several government-related programs, including the CMS-run Limited Income Newly Eligible Transition (LINET) prescription-drug plan, state Medicaid and dual-eligible contracts, and long-term support services. Distribution channels span employer groups, independent brokers, sales representatives, and digital insurance agencies, reflecting a multi-channel sales strategy.
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year (2023) show a 9% year-over-year increase in Medicare Advantage enrollment to roughly 7.5 million members, and a net income of $4.5 billion on revenue of $84 billion, indicating solid profitability despite rising medical cost inflation. The senior-care segment (CenterWell) contributed approximately 12% of total revenue, a figure that has been expanding as the U.S. population ages-a macro-level driver that underpins long-term demand for Humana’s integrated care services.
From a sector perspective, the managed-health-care industry is being reshaped by regulatory reforms (e.g., potential Medicare Advantage payment adjustments) and the acceleration of value-based care models, which could affect Humana’s margin trajectory. Additionally, the broader PBM market is consolidating, and Humana’s in-house pharmacy-benefit-manager operations position it to capture a larger share of prescription-drug spend, though competitive pressures remain high.
