UnitedHealth Group's 2025 outlook missed Wall Street's expectations due to higher medical costs, causing a stock drop of over 3%. The company projects adjusted earnings of at least $16 per share and revenue between $445.5 billion and $448 billion, lower than analyst predictions. Increased medical care ratios, particularly in Medicare Advantage plans, contributed to the shortfall. The report follows recent setbacks including the departure of the former CEO, DOJ investigations, and a cyberattack, leaving the new CEO, Stephen Hemsley, tasked with restoring investor confidence.
