Net income results were even more concerning. GoHealth’s losses widened significantly, with a net loss of $115.99 million for Q2 2025, up from $59.31 million in the same period in 2024, marking a 95.6% increase in losses. On a per-share basis, the loss expanded to $5.10 from $2.70, representing an 88.9% wider loss. These results reflect continued financial pressures for the fifth consecutive year during this quarter.
