John Pinney's questions to Clover Health Investments Corp (CLOV) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
John Pinney from Canaccord Genuity asked if the elevated cost trends in the BER were localized to newer member cohorts or specific geographies. He also inquired about the competitive landscape for the upcoming AEP and how competitors are positioning for 2026.
Answer
CFO Peter Kuipers clarified that member cohorts are performing as expected and the Part D and supplemental cost pressures are broad-based, not specific to new members. CEO Andrew Toy addressed the competitive landscape, noting that national players are pulling back from wide-network PPO plans, which is Clover's area of strength. He expressed confidence that this positions them well for the upcoming growth season, a sentiment echoed by Peter Kuipers, who highlighted the financial tailwind from their upcoming 4-star payment year.
