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.
