信诺保险集团(CI)今日盘前股价大跌11.31%,引发市场广泛关注。主要原因是该公司2024年第四季度业绩低于预期,医疗成本上升拖累了盈利水平。
信诺保险公布,第四季度每股利润6.64美元,低于分析师预期的7.82美元。全年每股利润至少29.50美元,也未能达到华尔街31.50美元的预期。盈利不佳主要源于公司旗下一种雇主资助的"止损保险"计划的医疗成本上升。
数据显示,本季度信诺保险的医疗保健比率(用于医疗保健的保费百分比)为87.9%,较去年同期的82.2%大幅上升。分析认为,信诺在应对老年人日益增长的医疗保健服务需求方面面临挑战,导致医疗成本不断上升,削弱了公司利润。虽然公司已宣布出售医疗保险优势业务,以减轻医疗支出压力,但整合工作尚需时日。
