Centene's First Quarterly Loss In 13 Years Sends Shares Crashing
Healthcare insurance giant Centene Corporation (NYSE:CNC) saw its stock tumble significantly on Friday after reporting a surprising second-quarter 2025 adjusted loss of 16 cents per share. This stark reversal from an adjusted income of $2.42 per share in the prior year quarter sharply contrasted with analyst expectations of a $1.26 per share profit, marking the company's first quarterly loss since the second quarter of 2012, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Despite the earnings shortfall, Centene demonstrated strong top-line growth, with sales surging 22% year-over-year to $48.74 billion, comfortably exceeding the consensus estimate of $44.48 billion. However, this revenue performance was overshadowed by substantial increases in medical costs.'We are disappointed by our second-quarter results, but we have a clear understanding of the trends that have impacted our performance, and are working with urgency and focus to restore our earnings trajectory,' stated Sarah London, Chief Executive Officer of Centene, acknowledging the challenging quarter. The company's premium and service revenues climbed 18% to $42.5 billion from $36.0 billion a year ago. This growth was primarily fueled by expanding premium and membership in the Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) business, overall market growth in the Marketplace business, and rate increases within the Medicaid segment. These gains, however, were partially offset by a decline in Medicaid membership due due to ongoing redeterminations and reduced net risk adjustment revenue in the Marketplace. View more earnings on CNC A critical factor in the earnings miss was the deterioration of Centene's Health Benefits Ratio (HBR), which climbed to 93.0% in the second quarter of 2025, up from 87.6% in the corresponding period last year. This increase primarily stemmed from a reduction in the company's estimated net 2025 Marketplace risk adjustment revenue transfer, escalating medical costs within the Marketplace, higher Medicaid medical costs driven by behavioral health services, home health, and high-cost drugs, and an increase in the 2025 Medicare Advantage premium deficiency reserve as earnings progressed through the year. Total membership across Centene's diverse portfolio declined to 28 million from 28.48 million a year ago, predominantly due to a reduction in Medicaid membership from 13.14 million to 12.82 million. Conversely, the company experienced strong membership growth in other key areas, with Marketplace enrollment increasing 33% to 5.86 million and Medicare PDP expanding 19% to 7.85 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. Earlier in July, Centene had already signaled potential headwinds by withdrawing its 2025 GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS guidance, following an initial review of 2025 industry data from Wakely, an independent actuarial firm. The company announced that it would provide updated guidance during its earnings conference call. Centene's stock performance this quarter mirrors a broader trend within the healthcare insurance sector, as evidenced by the recent decline in shares of competitors like Elevance Health Inc. (NYSE:ELV) and Cigna following their own earnings reports. Elevance Health notably saw its stock plummet after missing analyst expectations for its second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings and significantly lowering its full-year guidance, despite strong revenue growth. In premarket trading on Friday, Centene's stock plummeted 14.5% to $22.89, falling below its previous 52-week low of $26.66. The continued downward pressure underscores significant investor concern over the unexpected quarterly loss and the challenging operational environment impacting the healthcare insurance industry.

EPA OKs ‘unprecedented' cleanup plan for battery plant months after toxic Monterey County fire
Ever since a massive fire tore through one of the world's largest battery storage facilities in January, cleanup crews have been unable to safely access portions of the building that burned in rural Monterey County. The risk of reigniting a fire has been too high, preventing crews from starting the lengthy, dangerous removal of tens of thousands of lithium-ion batteries. Now, that process could soon begin. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced this week that it had reached an agreement regarding the battery removal with Texas-based Vistra Corp., which owns the battery energy storage system in Moss Landing that caught fire. The 75-page agreement, signed July 17, requires Vistra to submit detailed work plans to the EPA on all aspects of battery removal and to get the government's approval before it proceeds. 'Vistra will conduct and pay for the battery removal and disposal process under EPA's oversight,' Kazami Brockman, the EPA's on-scene coordinator, said during a Monterey County news briefing Wednesday. 'If the agreement is not performed to EPA's satisfaction, EPA does have the authority to take over the cleanup and bill Vistra for the cost.' Brockman added, 'We anticipate that this work will continue for over a year due to the technical complexity as well as the safety measures being put in place to protect the workers and the community.' In an email Wednesday night, Meranda Cohn, a Vistra spokeswoman, said 'battery removal could not occur until this agreement was in place.' The Moss Landing fire began Jan. 16. It smoldered for several days, spewing toxic gas into the air and prompting the evacuation of about 1,500 people. Firefighters let it burn, citing the dangers of dousing lithium-ion battery fires with water, which can cause dangerous chemical reactions. The fire ignited inside a former turbine building that contained a 300-megawatt system made up of about 4,500 cabinets, with each containing 22 individual battery modules, according to Vistra. Such battery systems store excess energy generated during the day and release it into the power grid during times of high demand, including evening hours. These facilities are seen as essential for stabilizing the state's electric grid and advancing the transition to cleaner energy because they can store solar and wind power to use when the sun isn't shining and turbines are not turning. But the Vistra fire also has exposed the dangers inherent with large-scale battery storage, prompting state and federal regulators to seek stronger safety protocols. Of the 99,000 individual LG battery modules in the building, about 54,450 burned, according to Vistra. On Feb. 18, the fire reignited and burned for several hours. Vistra wrote on its website that 'additional instances of smoke and flare-ups are a possibility given the nature of this situation and the damage to the batteries.' The damaged building — filled with burned and unaffected lithium-ion batteries — remains volatile, which has both slowed and complicated the cleanup. 'The challenge here is there are batteries in various states of charge, still being able to hold charge, all the way to completely consumed,' Brockman said. Over the last six months, crews have removed fire debris containing asbestos and disconnected safely accessible batteries to reduce the risk of reignition, according to the EPA. Some portions of the building have been 'completely inaccessible,' Ramon Albizu, the EPA's lead on-scene coordinator, said in an interview Thursday. He added that the 99,000 modules in the building suffered varying degrees of damage. 'We need to carefully, surgically demolish the building to be able to get to all the modules,' Albizu said. 'That requires a lot of planning.' Since the fire, the EPA, Vistra and other regulatory agencies have created more than 30 work plans related to the demolition and battery removal, he said. Work to stabilize the building should begin by the end of the month, he added. The Moss Landing fire ignited nine days after the start of the deadly Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles County. The EPA, under pressure from the Trump administration to work quickly in Southern California, removed about 300 tons of hazardous household debris — including more than 1,000 lithium-ion batteries — from the massive burn zones in Altadena and Pacific Palisades within 28 days. Albizu said the battery removal in Moss Landing differs greatly from the removal of smaller batteries in Southern California, many of which came from electric vehicles. In the Vistra building, each of the 99,000 batteries, he said, is about 4 feet long and weighs more than 200 pounds. 'It's something that is unprecedented,' Albizu said of the battery plant fire. Once each battery is removed, its remaining energy will be transferred to another source, according to the EPA. If the batteries are too damaged for that to be done, crews will discharge them through brining, during which they are submerged in a water-and-salt solution. The batteries then will be transported off-site for disposal, David Yeager, director of project development for Vistra, said during the Monterey County news briefing Wednesday. In a statement to The Times on Thursday, Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church, whose district includes Moss Landing, said he was 'disappointed it has taken this long to come to a point where cleanup can begin, but safety must be a priority.' According to Vistra, the cause of the blaze 'remains unknown' and is still under investigation by the company. The California Public Utilities Commission also has an ongoing investigation. The Vistra fire rocked California's clean energy industry and its plans for more battery plants, which state leaders are aggressively pursuing. In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal published Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom touted California's transition to renewable energy, writing that it was 'time for America to follow California's lead.' He wrote that the ability to store clean electricity was 'a key factor' in hitting clean energy goals and that, over the last six years, the state has added 15,000 megawatts of battery storage capacity, enough to meet a quarter of peak electricity demand. 'More is on the way,' Newsom wrote, 'including the largest battery project in the world, now being permitted in Fresno County through California's new fast-track permitting process.' Along with additional safety regulations for battery storage, the blaze has prompted calls for more local control over where storage sites are located. In a survey of nearby residents conducted by the Monterey and Santa Cruz counties' health departments, 83% of respondents said they experienced at least one symptom — most commonly headaches, sore throats and coughing — shortly after the fire. Nearly a quarter of respondents said they had trouble breathing, and 39% reported having a metallic taste in their mouth. The survey, conducted in February and March, polled 1,539 people who lived or worked in the region at the time of the fire. Knut Johnson, an attorney with the law firm Singleton Schreiber, said hundreds of nearby residents have joined a lawsuit against Vistra, LG Energy Solution and Pacific Gas & Electric, accusing the companies of failing to maintain adequate fire safety systems. Johnson said plaintiffs are 'very worried' about the batteries that remain on site. 'Those burned-up batteries still contain a lot of toxins,' Johnson said. 'The wind blows, the evening fog rolls in, suspending particles in the moisture — there's lots of ways for any remaining toxins to get around the community.' The fire should 'serve as a wake-up call,' Johnson said, for anyone wanting to build battery storage facilities near residential areas and sensitive ecosystems.

Tesla Robotaxis Only Go 20 Miles/Day. Meanwhile Where's Mobileye?
Passengers are dropped off by a Tesla Inc. robotaxi in Austin, Texas, US, on Sunday, June 22, 2025. ... More The launch of Tesla Inc.'s driverless taxi service Sunday is set to begin modestly, with a handful of vehicles in limited areas of the city. Photographer: Tim Goessman/Bloomberg Tesla's second quarter earnings call included some tidbits about their robotaxi project and other plans, including that their cars aren't driving very much at all, and that the level of deception on their quarterly safety statistics has reached disturbing levels. In other news, today Lyft announced a new partnership for 2026 with Holon autonomous shuttles powered by Mobileye drive. Such announcements don't deserve much of a mention, but it's interesting to contrast the progress of the players. In the call, Tesla stated their robotaxis have now driven about 7,000 miles in Austin. Since there are reportedly a dozen vehicles operating, and it's been 30 days since they began operations, that works out to under 20 miles per day per vehicle, which is a surprisingly small number. While Ashok Elluswamy stated that there had been 'no notable safety-critical interventions,' that's at odds with one influencer who reported his Tesla robotaxi hit a Toyota with its wheel in a parking lot, and a number of videos show the cars stopping to release passengers in dangerous locations. Other events have included unsafe and illegal moves which did not result in any impact events, and so might not count, but they don't inspire confidence. There are many classes of intervention, and indeed many companies feel that if nothing got hurt, there has not been a problem. In the prior Q1 call, Elon Musk stated they were up to roughly 10,000 miles per intervention, without classifying them, but with all the incidents seen in the first 7,000 miles that's not very likely. Indeed, we're not seeing video of every mile, and the influencers allowed to ride often don't even focus on the incidents. The challenge is that meet Musk's goal of 'much better than a human being' that he has set for going unsupervised, you need to do a million miles between serious safety incidents of any kind. The very low usage numbers suggest Tesla is being very, very cautious with deployment of the service, which is the right safety approach with an immature system. Tesla expanded their service area to look like a giant upside-down Tesla logo (or perhaps something else right-side up) and they said they will soon expand it again. The large expansion makes the low usage even more surprising. Expansion, though, is not particularly challenging for a supervised system like Tesla's, in fact Tesla could easily open up most of the country in that mode if they want to pay for the staff. Because a supervised system can need interventions it can be operated even if it needs 100x improvement to go unsupervised, as Tesla's appears to need by Musk's criteria. So while Musk boasted at the start of the call that they would expand their service area to be much larger than their competitors, that's not a meaningful comparison. In the call they were optimistic about expanding to serve "half the population of the USA by the end of this year" that's actually not a very bold claim for a supervised service, though some states may insist their safety driver move to the driver's seat rather than the passenger seat if the state's laws have technical requirements for where the driver sits. (In fact, even today there are Tesla owners driving for Uber who use Tesla FSD and Autopilot while giving rides to passengers, and it appears to be legal, though this is not an official offering.) On the plus side, reports suggest Tesla has made significant improvements to the 'pick-up' function, an important component of a robotaxi. Early videos had riders walk fairly far to be picked up in parking lots, suggesting the vehicles weren't ready to do curbside, which can involve waiting. (Drop-off is easier as there is minimal waiting.) If confirmed this shows impressive generality in the system. Misleading Chart In the call they also made note of their quarterly report on Autopilot safety, which included a post of a graphic to X/Twitter: This chart is incorrect. In the fine print in Tesla's report, they disclose that for the blue line, they are defining 'Accidents' as 'Airbag deployments' and they are for Autopilot, which is used 90% on freeeways, where the crash rate per mile is around 1/3rd of that for all roads. The report for Autopilot+Human 'accidents' also is measuring Tesla drivers, who are know to be wealthier and older and thus statistically better drivers. According to State Farm data, regular drivers have an airbag deployment about every 4 million miles, though the rate varies by car OEM, as different vendors have different rules for when an airbag deploys. What this means is that combining all these factors, there is much uncertainty, but Autopilot+driver is very likely no better than, or even slightly worse than driver alone. They depict it as 10x better than the orange line, which is police reported crashes (airbag or not) for all drivers on all roads in all cars, and this is clearly false. Though the number is getting modestly better, at least. Tesla has the real data but declines to release it, it would be nice to know the truth. I have written more details on this in the past. What's new today is that in the past Tesla usually revealed the different base of the numbers in the fine print and did not overtly make the apparent false claim of being 10x safer. Tesla continued with many claims of big milestones they are confident about for 2025 and 2026. At the same time they admit they sometimes get the dates wrong. Recently we've been seeing a number of claims from Mobileye that they will deploy self-driving through their partners in 2026. This includes earlier claims of a robotaxi service with MOIA/VW, and a declaration today from Lyft that they will offer self-driving rides in shuttles from Benteler's 'Holon' unit. Holon is also operating shuttles in Jacksonville, FL. Holon shuttle on display at CES. Not like your typical Lyft ride It's not clear how that will work inside the Lyft app, which does not currently handle booking shared-ride fixed-route shuttles as Holon operates, but they may start offering point-to-point rides, or change how riders book in Lyft. Lyft has been eager to partner with self-driving companies to match the fast pace of partnerships that Uber has been announcing. What's less clear is whether Mobileye Drive, their unsupervised self-driving product, will be ready. Mobileye has an advanced team, and is the leader in ADAS for traditional OEMs, but we are now at a different phase in self-driving, the Yoda phase where 'there is no try, only do.' Reports of MOIA's trial service in Germany indicate safety drivers are still quite active. If Mobileye and its partners want to convince the world they can drive around unsupervised in 2026, they will need to start showing hard milestones very soon
