01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed March 2, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Humana Inc. (HUM) disclosed in a Regulation FD filing dated March 2, 2026 that members of its senior management team are scheduled to meet with investors and analysts at various meetings between March 2, 2026 and March 31, 2026.
At these meetings, the Company intends to reaffirm its FY 2026 guidance of at least $8.89a in diluted GAAP earnings per common share or at least $9.00 in Adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per common share. The filing states this guidance is consistent with the guidance issued in Humana's press release dated February 11, 2026. The filing provides a reconciliation of the GAAP guidance to the Adjusted figure.
It adds $0.15b for amortization of identifiable intangibles and subtracts $0.04 for the cumulative net tax impact, bringing the at-least-$8.89 GAAP figure to at least $9.00 on an adjusted basis. Management states it does not expect changes to the FY 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance, but does expect potential changes to the FY 2026 GAAP EPS guidance due to ongoing value creation and other strategic initiatives.
For investors, the key point is that this filing reaffirms rather than revises guidance. The notable element is the explicit expectation that GAAP EPS guidance may move while Adjusted EPS guidance is held steady, a distinction that matters when comparing the two measures.
