On July 17, 2025, Elevance Health, Inc. (NYSE:ELV) released its Q2 2025 results. The company posted adjusted EPS of $8.84, slightly missing expectations of $8.91. Increased medical cost trends in ACA, along with slower Medicaid rate recovery softening margins. Yet, the higher premium yields and acquisitions resulted in a $49.4 billion revenue, an increase of 14% YoY. Meanwhile, the company’s operating cash flow reached $2.1 billion.
Declines in Medicaid and ACA enrollment resulted in a decrease in the Membership segment, taking it to 45.6 million. Looking ahead, Elevance Health, Inc. (NYSE:ELV) reduced its full-year EPS guidance to $30, driven by cost pressures. However, it reaffirmed its strategies to stabilize margins with disciplined pricing, AI-enabled care management, and Carelon’s expanding value-based and pharmacy services.
