Anthem's first-quarter profit beat Wall Street estimates on Wednesday as it reined in expenses, and the U.S. health insurer raised its earnings forecast for the year.

For 2019, Anthem said it expects adjusted earnings to be above $19.20 per share, higher than its prior estimate of more than $19.00.
