At the Oppenheimer conference, CFO Mario Ramos outlined Evolent Health’s priorities: Aetna implementations are complete, and Highmark remains on schedule for May 1. The company expects sequential EBITDA improvements, targets margins of 7% to 10% for Enhanced Performance Suite contracts, and projects roughly $20 million EBITDA in each of Q1/Q2 2026, with a possible increase of $10–50 million in H2 and a Q4 run rate of about $150 million. Focus areas include deleveraging via asset sales and operational improvements, early use of AI in the back office, and a conservative “best view” because of new risk-based customers; acquisitions are currently expected to be limited. » Mais em de.investing.com
