Ahead of the event, analysts expect the health insurer to report a loss of $2.23 per share, a significant decline compared to the loss of $0.11 per share recorded in the same quarter last year. The company has surpassed Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in three of the past four quarters while missing on another occasion. In the most recent quarter, HUM exceeded the consensus EPS estimates by a 19.5% margin.
