Clover Health Investments, listed as NASDAQ:CLOV, is a healthcare technology company focused on improving health outcomes for its members. The company offers Medicare Advantage plans and leverages its proprietary Clover Assistant technology to enhance care delivery. Despite facing competition from other Medicare Advantage providers, Clover Health is making strides in expanding its membership and improving its financial metrics.

On January 20, 2026, Reynoso Jamie L., CEO of Medicare Advantage at Clover Health, sold 4,597 shares of Class A Common Stock at $2.58 each. Despite this sale, he retains a significant stake with 2,737,700 shares. This transaction comes as Clover Health experiences a 53% increase in membership, reaching approximately 153,000 members as of January 1, 2026.

Clover Health is on track to achieve GAAP profitability by 2026, driven by strong member retention rates exceeding 95% and improved margins.
