Molina Healthcare Inc. (US60855R1005) stock opened at $200.03 on August 31, 2026, giving the managed-care name a market capitalization of $10.44 billion and a 52-week range of $121.06 to $244.89.

Its last reported quarter, released on July 22, showed earnings of $1.51 per share on $10.87 billion in revenue, topping the $1.39 EPS consensus and the $10.83 billion sales estimate.

July results set the tone

The quarter was weaker than the same period a year earlier on sales, with revenue down 4.8% year over year, while EPS fell from $5.48 in the comparable period last year. The gap between revenue and profit is the number that matters most for investors now.

A second figure stood out in the same update: return on equity was 3.73% and net margin was negative 0.02%, a sharp contrast with the top line size and a reminder that Medicaid pricing and utilization remain central to the story.

Consensus still points higher

Analysts currently expect $5.29 in earnings per share for the full year, which leaves room for the company to prove that the July quarter was a reset rather than a break in the trend.

That estimate matters because Molina Healthcare trades at a market value of $10.44 billion, so even small changes in earnings power can matter to the multiple.
