$Oscar Health, Inc.(OSCR)$ $Hims & Hers Health Inc.(HIMS)$ππ Iβm watching OSCR test its trendline as earnings approach; hereβs why this setup demands attention π
Iβm extremely confident that Oscar Health ($OSCR) is approaching a critical inflection point. With the stock hovering near a key diagonal trendline around $15.65β$16, Iβm watching this channel test closely ahead of earnings on 06Aug25. If it wants to hold the structure and complete the larger measured move, OSCR needs to beat.
Iβm aware that the companyβs updated FY25 guidance wasnβt without complexity. Management is forecasting $12β$12.2B in revenue with operational losses between $200M and $300M. While those losses might alarm some, Iβm interpreting them as part of a longer-term transition strategy, especially given the accelerating uptake in Individual Coverage HRA (ICHRA) enrollments and AI-driven efficiency plays. This isnβt about overnight profitability; itβs about margin evolution in a data-rich insurance landscape.
Iβm also factoring in the 22% rally over the last quarter, which didnβt occur in isolation. OSCRβs move coincided with S&P 500 all-time highs and a broader wave of risk-on sentiment. However, Iβm not attributing this entirely to macro tailwinds. Their Q1 print was solid, and revised guidance offered rare clarity in a sector often riddled with regulatory opacity. Investors noticed.
From a long-term perspective, Iβm impressed by the 180% return OSCR has posted over the past three years. That dwarfs the US insurance industryβs 9.3% average return over the last twelve months. Yet short-term doubts persist; the stock still trades below the $19.36 analyst consensus target, despite rebounding from its $11.20 base.
On the technical front, Iβm watching that falling wedge breakout with a measured move to $21β$24. The RBR (Rally, Base, Rally) zone near $13.80β$14.60 has been retested, and the recent reaction suggests accumulation. A breakout above the $16 handle reopens the gap toward $18.50, aligning with the midline of the channel. Above that, I see the upper boundary of the structure pointing toward $26β$28 in the right conditions.
Options data reinforces the pivot. Iβm seeing call activity edge ahead of puts, with a put/call ratio of 0.94, slightly above average. IV30 remains elevated at 100.73 but has compressed modestly, suggesting the marketβs preparing for a directional move. With implied volatility pricing a Β±11.65% swing, or $1.74 move, this earnings could be the spark.
Iβm mindful of two fundamental red flags flagged by Simply Wall St, likely centered on ongoing losses and sector competition. But I also understand that scaling a digital-first health insurer in a regulated environment takes time. The question is whether investors are pricing in too much short-term pain and not enough operational leverage from platform efficiencies.
Iβm watching closely for how the market digests the earnings print. Beat and raise, and we may reclaim the gap fast. Miss or guide lower, and Iβll be watching for a return to that $13.50β$14.20 base.

- Kiwi TigressΒ·2025-07-26TOPπ₯ Iβm genuinely impressed by how you laid this out. The $16 trendline test with that RBR reaction is a huge technical signal, and you nailed the timing with earnings right around the corner. Most people overlook what ICHRA could mean for OSCRβs long-term model, but you connected it with AI cost efficiencies in a way that actually reframes the loss guidance. The IV drop with that 11% expected move is serious fuel for a breakout, and I hadnβt even clocked the 180% return over three years until you pulled that stat fr π₯2Report
