Humana's stock price rose 10 percent over the last 21 trading days and 18 percent over the last year, according to Forbes July 19.
The payer's Medicare Advantage business rose from 3.1 million members in 2018 to nearly 4 million members in 2020, which contributed to its stock growth, the publication said.
Humana has also been expanding its home healthcare services. The company announced June 14 a definitive agreement to acquire Florida- and Texas-based One Homecare Solutions, and a partnership with in-home care provider DispatchHealth in February.
Humana announced April 27 it would purchase the remaining 60 percent of Louisville, Ky.-based post-acute care provider Kindred at Home, a company it partially owned beginning 2018. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.
