ALHC

Alignment Healthcare is a technology-enabled, clinically focused Medicare Advantage insurer for seniors, pairing its AVA data platform with an employed Care Anywhere clinical model. The growth is exceptional and the profitability inflection is the key development: FY2025 revenue grew 46.1% to $3.95B, and after years of losses (-$128M as recently as FY2024), the company reached essentially breakeven net income (-$724K) with positive operating income of $14.8M and, most importantly, operating cash flow that turned strongly positive at $140M (+302%). Membership reached 236,300 (a 30% CAGR since inception) across 45 markets and five states.

The runway is large and the quality signals are strong. Management notes Alignment holds only ~6% market share of MA enrollees in its markets (with 10-30% share in its most mature markets), and 100% of its members are in plans rated 4 stars and above — the California HMO has held 4+ stars for nine consecutive years, which drives favorable CMS rebate economics. The balance sheet carries $576M cash and modest long-term debt ($323M); the 4.94x liabilities/equity ratio largely reflects insurance medical-claims reserves rather than financial leverage.
