Aetna Signals Another Increase to 2011 Earnings Forecast

Health insurer Aetna expects its 2011 full-year operating earnings to surpass what was forecasted in July, signaling that less Americans are using or are able to afford healthcare services, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

In July, Aetna expected full-year operating earnings of $4.60 to $4.70 per share, which was a 20 percent increase from its February projections, the report said.

Aetna will provide specific earnings targets in its third-quarter report, which will be released this fall.
