What’s Next For UNH Stock After Its Recent 50% Fall?

  • UnitedHealth Group’s stock has dropped by approximately half in the last month, a decline accelerated by disappointing financial results and the resignation of CEO Andrew Witty on May 13, 2025.
  • The stock decline stemmed from the company suspending its 2025 financial outlook due to rising medical costs and abrupt leadership change with Andrew Witty stepping down for personal reasons.
  • Stephen Hemsley, former CEO from 2006 to 2017, immediately assumed the CEO role to provide continuity amid regulatory pressure and worsening Medicare trends noted after March claims.
  • UnitedHealth's stock price dropped 17.8% on May 13, falling to around $310, with analysts slashing price targets, such as Kevin Fischbeck lowering his to $350 from $560.
  • The sharp stock fall reflects investor concerns about short-term profitability risks, but UnitedHealth remains attractive based on growth rates and valuation relative to the broader market.
