Elevance Health: Carelon’s Specialty Pharmacy Surge—Why Kroger Integration & BioPlus Could Be a Game-Changer!
Elevance Health’s third quarter of 2025 results present a multifaceted picture with both strengths and challenges. The company reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $5.32 and an adjusted earnings per share of $6.03. This performance aligns with prior expectations, benefiting from enhanced medical cost management and disciplined expense control. Total operating revenues grew to $50.1 billion, a 12% increase year-over-year, driven by higher premium yields, recent acquisitions, and Medicare Advantage membership growth, although partially offset by ongoing Medicaid reverifications. On the positive side, Elevance Health has reaffirmed its 2025 adjusted EPS target of approximately $30. The company underscores its commitment to its strategic initiatives, particularly around leveraging AI and digital tools to enhance operational efficiency and member experience. Their AI-enabled solutions, such as HealthOS and virtual assistants, are set to reach more than 10 million members by year-end, enhancing access and engagement across the platform.
