What the Analysts think about Centene

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Centene stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Centene posted a surprise adjusted loss of $0.16 per share for the second quarter of 2025, far below analysts’ expectations of a profit of $0.86, sending shares down nearly 13% in premarket trading and underscoring volatility in its core results (Reuters).
The second-quarter 2025 medical cost ratio jumped to 93%, significantly above the expected 89.3%, as lower risk adjustment revenues and higher spending in Medicaid—especially for behavioral health and home health—put continued pressure on margins in government-sponsored plans (Reuters).
After posting a Q2 loss, Centene withdrew its 2025 full-year earnings forecast and now expects around $1.75 in adjusted profit per share, compared to prior guidance of more than $7.25 and analyst estimates of $4.65, highlighting management’s uncertainty about near-term earnings visibility (Reuters).
