Elevance Health reported a stronger-than-expected third quarter, raised its 2026 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance to at least $29, and expects at least 12% adjusted EPS growth in 2027. The outlook depends on Medicaid margin recovery, Medicare Advantage profitability, and continued growth at Carelon, while elevated medical costs and membership changes remain key risks.
