Firm Eyes Profitability In 2026

CFO Scott Blackley said in a call with analysts that the firm expects to meaningfully improve financial performance and return to profitability in 2026.

“We expect earnings from operations to be in the range of $250 million to $450 million, a significant improvement of nearly $750 million year-over-year, implying an operating margin of approximately 1.9% at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $115 million higher than earnings from operations,” Blackley said.

Oscar Health posted a net loss in five of the last six quarters, according to Koyfin data.

On February 6, the company secured a $475 million, three-year revolving credit facility, which Blackley said will provide flexibility to support long-term growth and expand adoption in the individual market.
