Humana is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a health and well-being company. Co.'s medical and specialty insurance products allow members to access health care services primarily through its networks of health care providers with whom it has contracted. Co. manages its business with three reportable segments: Retail, which is comprised of products sold on a retail basis to individuals including medical and supplemental benefit plans; Group and Specialty, which consists of employer group commercial fully-insured medical and specialty health insurance benefits; and Healthcare Services, which includes pharmacy, provider, and home services. The HUM YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the HUM YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether HUM YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the HUM YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
