Healthcare stocks in focus: Molina shock, FDA “copycat” warning and XLV set up Monday’s trade

Molina Healthcare plunged 25.5% to $131.72 on Friday, after the company told investors to brace for at least $5 in adjusted earnings per share in 2026—missing what analysts had penciled in. The Medicaid specialist also plans to pull out of Medicare Advantage Part D prescription drug plans starting in 2027. CEO Joseph Zubretsky described 2026 as a “trough year” for Medicaid margins. Molina attributed the trimmed outlook to losses from its Part D business and a fresh Florida Medicaid contract, each dragging estimates by $1 and $1.50 per share. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund didn’t follow Molina lower, instead picking up 1.8% to finish at $157.71.

The stock’s latest pop has been driven by a fresh analyst price-target increase, but the broader narrative remains shaped by a dramatic mid-year guidance reset and ongoing uncertainty around Affordable Care Act premium subsidies that are scheduled to expire December 31, 2025.

In posts over the weekend, President Donald Trump called for redirecting “hundreds of billions” in ACA subsidy funds directly to consumers, rather than to insurers. By early Monday, managed-care stocks with ACA exposure, including Centene, were lower in premarket trading. Reuters notes the comments land amid a 40‑day federal government shutdown and renewed debate over enhanced ACA subsidies set to expire Dec. 31, a program that has helped double ACA enrollment to ~24 million since 2021.
