What's Driving HUM's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

30/30 datapoints verified

AI-extracted from HUMANA INC's 10-Q filed 2026-07-29 — Q2 FY2026 (quarter ended June 30, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Insurance segment$39.0B+26.2% YoY

Membership growth across Medicare businesses, higher per-member MA and PDP premiums from increased CMS benchmark funding and IRA-driven Part D subsidy, partly offset by BY2026 Star Ratings headwind

CenterWell segment$1.6B+32.4% YoY

Continued expansion of payor-agnostic client base, primarily in primary care, partly offset by phase-in of the v28 risk model revision

AI Insight: HUM Financial Trends

Q1 2026 revenue surged 24% YoY to $39.6B, but operating performance remains volatile with cyclical seasonal swings masking underlying profitability pressure.

Q1 2026 revenue jumped to $39.6B, up 24% from $32.1B in Q1 2025; operating income recovered to $1.75B after Q4 2025 loss of $808M.

Operating cash flow swung from negative $1.65B in Q4 2025 to positive $1.25B in Q1 2026, signaling seasonal working capital normalization.

Equity strengthened to $18.6B in Q1 2026 from $17.7B in Q4 2025; debt rose to $14.0B, increasing leverage ratio to 0.75x.

Net income volatility persists: Q1 2026 shows $1.2B profit, but Q3–Q4 2025 collapsed to near-zero earnings despite flat revenue—underlying margin stress.

Q4 2025 operating loss of $808M on $32.5B revenue marks second consecutive seasonal trough; watch if Q2–Q3 2026 repeat pattern.

AI Insight: HUM Ratio Trends

Humana's profitability metrics are deeply depressed on a trailing-twelve-month basis, with OpMargin at 1.8% and ROA at 2.0%, reflecting severe Q4 2025 losses that offset modest Q1 2026 recovery.

Q4 2024 and Q4 2025 both posted significant losses (OpMargin -1.9% and -2.5% respectively), suggesting structural seasonal headwinds or recurring Q4 pressures.

Q1 2026 operating margin improved to 4.4% from Q3 2025's 1.3%, with ROIC rebounding to 21.5%; quarterly pattern mirrors Q1 2025's 6.3% OpMargin spike.

Leverage stable: D/E ratio ranged 0.68–0.77 across all periods, ending Q1 2026 at 0.75, showing balanced debt management amid earnings volatility.

TTM profitability collapsed versus prior-year TTM: Q2 2024 OpMargin was 4.0%; current TTM stands at 1.8%, driven by two back-to-back negative Q4s.

Sequential volatility extreme: ROIC swung from 25.9% (Q1 2025) to -7.7% (Q4 2024) to -10.8% (Q4 2025), indicating unpredictable earnings or accounting drivers.
