Clover Health 2025 Q2 Earnings Net Loss Widens by 242.8%

Clover Health reported its Q2 2025 earnings on August 8th, with results that significantly missed expectations. The company swung to a net loss of $10.58 million, a 242.8% deterioration year-over-year. Revenue rose 34.1% to $477.62 million, driven by strong premium income. Despite this, the earnings downturn and continued losses highlighted persistent financial challenges.

Revenue totaled $477.62 million in the second quarter, marking a 34.1% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Premiums earned, net, contributed the bulk of the revenue at $469.83 million, while other income added $7.79 million. This growth was primarily fueled by sustained customer demand for the company’s core products.

Clover Health reported a significant shift in its earnings, swinging from a profit of $0.01 per share in the prior-year quarter to a loss of $0.02 per share in Q2 2025. The net income dropped from $7.41 million to a net loss of $10.58 million, representing a 242.8% year-over-year decline. This negative swing underscores the company’s ongoing struggle to maintain profitability, with losses reported in six of the past seven years.

A post-earnings analysis revealed that a strategy of buying CLOV following a positive earnings beat and holding for 30 days resulted in a disastrous return of -81.45%, significantly underperforming the benchmark by 115.86%. The strategy showed no maximum drawdown, yet the negative Sharpe ratio of -0.81 highlights the high risk and poor returns associated with this approach.
