UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH)

Executive Summary

UnitedHealth Group is the largest U.S. health insurer (~$450 billion of revenue, ~50 million covered members) and the operator of one of the largest U.S. integrated health services franchises through Optum. The stock has recovered 21 percent over the past twelve months from the December 2024 trough that followed the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — the most consequential single event in modern U.S. health insurance history. The stock has subsequently been stabilizing on the strength of Optum’s continued growth and the recovery from the cyberattack-driven 2024 disruption.
