Top 20 Falling Stocks with Unusual Volume

9. Humana Inc. (NYSE:HUM)

Humana Inc. is a medical and specialty insurance products provider. The company operates through the CenterWell and Insurance segments. It provides supplemental benefit plans and medical care to individuals. The stock is down 8.88% in a week on a relative volume of 2.15.

After falling during the last week, the stock has come back to the same level it was at earlier in the month when some positive developments caused the price to spike. The company received a favorable policy decision from the CMS for next year’s Medicare Advantage plans. However, there are still question marks on the company’s long-term ability to generate profits.

Regulatory issues and healthcare spending are two big hurdles that the company needs to figure out. Medicare and Medicaid are two major reasons for the government’s out-of-control spending, and these will likely stay under pressure during this presidential term. The long-term prospects of Humana, therefore, look bleak.
