Humana (HUM) stock pushed meaningfully higher on Tuesday after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized a 2.48% rate increase for 2027 Medicare Advantage payments.
The announcement positively surprised investors since the initially proposed rate was a nearly flat 0.09%, helping HUM break above its 50-day moving average (MA) on April 7.
