FY-2026 is the margin inflection: MLR 86.6% to 82.9%, underwriting margin 13.3% to 17.0%

Consensus keeps grinding the loss ratio and cost ratio lower through FY-2028, but at a fraction of the FY-2026 step - the re-rating in these models is a one-year repricing event, not a trend. The combined ratio row rests on three brokers; the loss ratio has ten.

Enrollment stops growing after FY-2026 - PMPM of $673 rising to $789 by FY-2028 carries the top line

Individual & small group is effectively the whole company here: the total and segment lines barely differ. Mean and median membership diverge from FY-2027 onward, so at least one broker models a materially smaller book after the ACA subsidy reset.

Modeled profit is front-loaded: 1QFY-2027 MLR of 70.3% against 92.8% in 4QFY-2026

Membership peaks in 1QFY-2026 and attrites through the year, so the worst loss ratio lands on the smallest base. Brokers then model an even lower first-quarter loss ratio in FY-2027, which is the single largest swing factor inside the FY-2027 annual numbers.

The FY-2027 dispute is the size of the book and how much margin it carries

The loss-ratio spread alone is worth more than the entire modeled EBITDA at the low end, which is why the profit range is so wide. Free cash flow disagreement is wider still and spans zero, because cash conversion depends on whether the book keeps growing.

Everything outside Individual & Small Group is one or two brokers, last revised in 2024

The Medicare Advantage membership and PMPM lines carry one to two brokers with revision dates in 2024, and the Cigna + Oscar lines are a single broker. Read them as one analyst's stub, not as a view of the street. Segment insight in this feed is effectively limited to the Individual & Small Group book.
