On February 17, 2026, Redwood Capital Management disclosed a significant purchase of 51,600 shares in Molina Healthcare (MOH), amounting to an estimated $8.48 million. This acquisition increases Redwood’s stake in the company to 110,000 shares, valued at $19.09 million, and positions Molina as approximately 2% of Redwood’s reportable U.S. equity assets.
Molina Healthcare has faced considerable challenges, with shares plummeting 53% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500’s 19% gain. Despite generating over $45 billion in revenue, the company reported a sharp decline in profitability, with adjusted EPS dropping from $22.65 to just over $11, driven by rising medical costs and unfavorable contract dynamics. This investment by Redwood could signal a belief in a potential turnaround, particularly if cost pressures ease and premium revenue stabilizes.
For investors, this transaction highlights the strategic shift towards more defensive, policy-driven investments amidst a challenging market environment. I recommend checking out the full article for deeper insights into Molina’s position and Redwood’s strategy.
