The best traders don't play offense. They play defense. When they trade, they are reactionary. They let the market tell them what to do.
These traders know that the market has a &#8220;memory.&#8221; This means that important support and resistance levels can stay intact for long periods of time. It could be weeks, months — or even years. 
As you can see on the chart, this could be the case with the $225 level for Humana Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUM#NYSE">HUM</a>). This is why our team of technical analysis experts has made it our Stock of the Day.
If a stock is trending lower, there isn't enough demand to absorb all of the supply. Sellers are forced to offer their shares out at a discount if they want to find someone to buy them. This action forces the shares into a downtrend.
Downtrends end when they reach support. At support levels, there is enough demand (buy orders) to absorb all of the supply (sell orders).

The $225 level first became support for Humana in April 2019. Then it was support again in March 2020. This was a case of &#8220;market memory.&#8221;
Support can stay intact for extended periods of time because of remorseful or regretful sellers. These are people who sold their shares while they were at support, but regretted doing so after the stock rallied and the price moved higher.
Some of these disappointed sellers vow to buy their shares back. But they will only do so if they can get them at the same price they were sold.
As a result, when the shares eventually return to the support level, they enter buy orders. If there are a large number of these buy orders, it will create support at the level that had been support before.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41140319/humana-faces-sharp-decline-in-medicare-star-ratings-for-2025-braces-for-2026-revenue-hit">After some disappointing news</a>, Humana is selling off and once again getting close to the important $225 level. If it does get there, there is a good chance that the market &#8220;remembers&#8221; this level was support before.
This means there is a good chance that it finds a bottom. It also means there is a good chance the stock reverses and rallies off of this level just like it did in April 2019 and March 2020.

Humana Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

According to preliminary data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Humana Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUM#NYSE">HUM</a>) faces a substantial drop in its Medicare Advantage (MA) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hum" rel="noreferrer noopener">Star Ratings for 2025</a>.
The data available in the CMS Plan Finder as of October 1, 2024, reveals that only 25% of Humana&#8217;s members are enrolled in plans rated four stars and above, a sharp decline from 94% in 2024.
The decrease is primarily driven by contract H5216, which holds around 45% of Humana&#8217;s MA membership and 90% of its employer group waiver plan (Group MA) membership.

H5216&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000049071/000004907124000045/hum-20241002.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">rating</a> dropped to 3.5 stars from 4.5 stars, affecting the company&#8217;s quality bonus payments in 2026. CMS is expected to release the official 2025 Star Ratings around October 10.
Humana attributes the lower star ratings to narrowly missing higher industry benchmarks based on a few key measures.
The company has raised concerns regarding potential errors in CMS&#8217;s calculation of certain results and industry thresholds. While appeals are still pending, Humana has requested further clarification from CMS to ensure the accuracy of its ratings.
The company plans to engage closely with CMS to address these issues and ensure that the Star Ratings accurately reflect the quality of its plans.
Despite its efforts to appeal the results, Humana expressed disappointment with its 2025 performance. It has launched initiatives to improve operational discipline and reclaim its leadership position in MA Star Ratings.
Humana expects the changes to drive improvements in key performance areas and positively impact quality bonus payments by 2027.
Looking ahead, Humana is exploring options to mitigate the potential revenue loss anticipated in 2026 due to the drop in Star Ratings.
It does not expect these ratings to affect its financial outlook for 2024 or 2025. Humana reaffirmed 2024 adjusted EPS of ~$16.00 versus the consensus of $20.31. Humana expects a 2024 insurance segment benefit <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/40070046/insurance-giant-humana-stock-tumbles-after-q2-earnings-beat-issues-sub-par-profit-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">ratio of approximately 90%</a>.
However, while Humana remains focused on achieving its goal of a 3% margin in individual MA by 2027, the likelihood of meeting this target has become more uncertain due to the 2025 ratings outcome.
Price Action: HUM stock is down 20.10% at $223.23 during the premarket session at the last check on Wednesday.

12 Health Care Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Pre-Market Session

WIIM

Humana shares are trading lower after the company provided update on decline in Stars performance for 2025 and how it will impact quality bonus payments in 2026.

Despite on-going appeal efforts, the Company is disappointed with its performance and has initiatives underway focused on improving its operating discipline and returning to an industry leading Stars position as quickly as possible. These initiatives are expected to impact performance across key measures and drive improved quality bonus payments in 2027 and beyond.
In addition, the Company remains focused on achieving its individual MA margin target of &lsquo;at least 3 percent&rsquo;, although there is now more risk in its ability to fully achieve this result by 2027.

Humana Expects 2025 Stars Results Not To Impact Financial Results Or Outlook For 2024 Or 2025

Based on preliminary 2025 Medicare Advantage (MA) Star Ratings data provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which became available in CMS Plan Finder as of October 1, 2024, Humana Ihas approximately 1.6 million, or 25%, of its members currently enrolled in plans rated 4 stars and above for 2025, a reduction from 94% in 2024.
A significant driver of these results was contract H5216 decreasing to a 3.5-star rating from a 4.5-star rating in 2024.&nbsp;The decline in Stars performance for 2025 will impact Humana&rsquo;s quality bonus payments in 2026. 2025 Star rating details are expected to be formally released by CMS on or around October 10th.

<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.
