Molina Healthcare was the top contributor to Sycamore Mid Cap Value Equity Strategy in the second quarter of 2026, according to the fund's investor letter. The managed care company's shares rallied after a strong first-quarter earnings report refocused investor attention on its core government-sponsored plan business, signaling that the worst of the medical cost ratio deterioration was likely behind it. Shares also benefited from greater visibility into the timing and scale of Medicaid spending cuts under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and got another lift late in the quarter when CMS released 2025 risk-adjustment transfer data viewed favorably for managed care companies. On August 12, 2026, Molina Healthcare closed at $206.06 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $10.76 billion and a year-to-date gain of 20.40%.
