Clover Health Investments stock rose 10.59% to $5.07 on Thursday, driven by a new five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The designation for the company’s wide-network PPO Medicare Advantage plans allows for year-round beneficiary enrollment, a significant operational improvement for the insurer.

What Happened

Clover Health announced that CMS awarded its PPO Medicare Advantage plans a five-star rating for 2027, which affects the 2028 payment year. This top-tier rating is a key driver for enrollment growth and potential bonus payments. The company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on October 9, 2026, disclosing the regulatory update and accompanying financial statements. The stock had already gained 9.4% over the previous eight sessions, moving from $4.24 to $4.64, before this latest catalyst.

Volume stood at 1.1 million shares, which is 0.2 times the three-month daily average. Clover Health has a market capitalization of $2.4 billion and remains unprofitable with a trailing twelve-month EPS of negative $0.04. Revenue grew 54.0% over the trailing twelve months, though the net margin is negative 0.7%. The stock’s beta is 2.46, indicating high volatility relative to the market. The 52-week range is $1.58 to $5.59, and the stock printed a fresh 52-week low on October 9, 2026. Insider activity has been notable, with 18 sales totaling $4.3 million in the last 90 days and no purchases. Recent sales include transactions by CEO Andrew Toy on October 1 and Jamie L. Reynoso, CEO of Medicare Advantage, on October 5 and 7.
