Anthem Inc. on Wednesday became the second major U.S. health insurer to raise its full year profit forecast, after beating third-quarter profit estimates on the back of lower-than-expected medical costs.
The number two U.S. health insurer raised its outlook for the third time this year, saying it now expected 2021 adjusted profit to exceed $25.85 per share, up from an earlier forecast of more than $25.50.
