UnitedHealth CEO Steps Down as Company Withdraws 2025 Financial Outlook

  • UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty stepped down abruptly on May 13, 2025, as the company suspended its 2025 financial outlook due to rising medical costs.
  • This leadership change followed a series of challenges including higher-than-expected Medicare Advantage expenses and the December 2024 killing of executive Brian Thompson.
  • Stephen Hemsley, who previously led UnitedHealth between 2006 and 2017, returned immediately as CEO amid the company's first quarterly earnings miss since 2008.
  • UnitedHealth covers over 50 million people, operates the largest Medicare Advantage business, and reported shares fell 38% since December, with an additional 8% drop on May 13.
  • The company expects to resume growth in 2026, while investors view the CEO change as sudden and possibly a temporary measure amid mounting internal pressures.
