Briefing

Elevance Health reported Q2 2026 results with total revenues of $50.5 billion and shareholders' net income of $1.5 billion.

Elevance Health reported total revenues of $50.5 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 1.4% year-over-year, driven by premium rate increases and growth in CarelonRx product revenues, partially offset by membership attrition. Shareholders' net income declined 16.1% to $1.5 billion due to higher medical costs and increased operating expenses. Medical membership stood at 44.9 million at quarter end.

  • Total revenues reached $50.5 billion, reflecting premium increases across Health Benefits and CarelonRx growth.
  • Shareholders' net income fell to $1.5 billion amid elevated medical cost trends in Medicaid and Medicare.
  • Operating gain decreased 27.3% to $1.8 billion due to higher benefit and operating expenses.
  • Medical membership declined 1.5% year-over-year to 44.9 million, primarily from Medicaid redeterminations.
