Separately, Truist Securities cut its price target on Evolent Health stock to $24 from $33, while maintaining a buy rating.
"[Evolent Health] shares are likely to be weak post this print given the magnitude of its miss and guide cut, and the company's decision to withdraw its 2024 exit EBITDA run-rate," Truist said in a note Friday.
