Frequently asked questions

Is CNC growing its revenue and profit?

Over the past 5 years, Centene Corporation's revenue has grown 11.0% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.

How much debt does CNC have?

As of FY2025, Centene Corporation reported $17.5B of total debt against $17.9B of cash; operating income covered interest expense -11.2×.

What is CNC's profit margin?

In FY2025, gross margin was 8.1%, operating margin -4.4%, and net margin -3.8%.

What is CNC's P/E ratio?

Centene Corporation's P/E (TTM) is 22.56 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the CNC stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 5.9× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.

Where does this data come from?

All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
