# Humana: Competitors & Industry Structure

## Direct Answer

SEC EDGAR classifies Humana under SIC code 6324 (Hospital & Medical Service Plans). Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 6 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Humana ranks 4 of 7. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes.

## How Does Humana Compare With Its Peers?

| Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Cigna (CI)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/cigna/) | $275 billion FY2025 | 11.2% | 3.3% | 2.2% |
| [Elevance Health (ELV)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/elevance-health/) | $199 billion FY2025 | 12.5% | 3.6% | 2.8% |
| [Centene Corporation (CNC)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/centene-corporation/) | $195 billion FY2025 | 19.4% | -3.9% | -3.4% |
| **Humana (HUM)** | $130 billion FY2025 | 10.1% | 2.1% | 0.9% |
| [Molina Healthcare Inc (MOH)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/molina-healthcare-inc/) | $45.4 billion FY2025 | 11.7% | 1.7% | 1.0% |
| [Oscar Health Inc. (OSCR)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/oscar-health-inc/) | $11.7 billion FY2025 | 27.5% | -3.4% | -3.8% |
| [Clover Health Investments Corp. (CLOV)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/clover-health-investments-corp/) | $1.9 billion FY2025 | 40.3% | -4.4% | -4.4% |

Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care.

## How Does Humana Rank Among All SEC Filers in Its Industry Code?

7 companies with annual reports in Swoopr's SEC dataset share SIC code 6324 (Hospital & Medical Service Plans), a wider group than the S&P 500 Equal Weight companies above. Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars.

| Measure | Humana | Median of filers | Rank |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Revenue | $130 billion | $130 billion | 4 of 7 |
| Revenue growth | 10.1% | 12.5% | 7 of 7 |
| Operating margin | 2.1% | 1.7% | 3 of 7 |
| Net margin | 0.9% | 0.9% | 4 of 7 |

A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Humana reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0000049071-26-000009 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
