## Resource

Aetna’s financial comeback is officially recognized by AM Best, who reaffirmed its strong ratings after a rocky 2024. With improved profitability, stronger capital, and standout performance in Medicare Advantage—now boasting 88% of members in 4-star or higher plans—the insurer is rebounding. First-quarter 2026 saw a 53% jump in adjusted operating income and 3% revenue growth, fueled by government programs despite Medicare Part D changes. Though Aetna exited the ACA marketplace, its position in Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial markets remains solid, earning a stable outlook as it continues CVS Health’s turnaround mission.
