But out-period math caps follow-through: management's own framework loads H2 MCR >200bps above the midpoint and front-loads earnings (~2/3 in H1), so a Q2 beat mechanically implies a heavier, lower-margin back half \u2014 analysts trim H2 even as they nudge H1, keeping FY revisions muted. Add unquantified overhangs (DOJ/RADV, 2027 MA margin, Medicaid negative margins) and a stock up ~75% off the trough, and the initial pop partially gives back over the week.",
