S&P Reviews Centene Credit Rating After Profit Forecast Withdrawal

S&P Global Ratings is reviewing Centene Corp.'s credit ratings with a possibility of downgrading to junk status following Centene's withdrawal of its 2025 profit forecast. This move reflects S&P's concerns about Centene's ability to generate sufficient capital amid changing insurance market trends, particularly within Affordable Care Act plans. The decision signals heightened scrutiny of financial stability and predictability in health insurers affected by shifting regulatory or market conditions.
