UnitedHealth's Deep Selloff Presents Strong Buy Opportunity
UNH
Published: May 21, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

UNH has been overly sold off at current levels, as the stock plunges by over -50% and the stock trades way below historical levels (nearing the pandemic bottom). It is apparent that the market and investors have de-risked after the recent earnings call, with it remaining to be seen if the new CEO may deliver a turnaround. Even so, given its leading position as the top US insurer and the robust FQ1'25 performance metrics, we believe that UNH may be able to weather the near-term uncertainties.

UnitedHealth Group: Generational Buying Opportunity? Insiders Apparently Think So
UNH
Published: May 20, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated has faced negative catalysts—guidance withdrawal, CEO change, DOJ probe rumors, and PBM threats—driving the stock down sharply. Insiders, including the CEO and CFO, have aggressively bought shares, signaling confidence and helping stabilize the stock after a steep drop. Despite short-term uncertainty, I believe fears are overblown and UNH remains a solid, defensive long-term investment at a compelling valuation.

Everything about UnitedHealth right now feels like total chaos, so I decided to explain what happened, why it matters, and what questions are worrying the investors the most. The stock is down over 50% because of everything at once: a surprise CEO exit, DOJ investigation talks, mispriced Medicare Advantage plans, and serious political pressure. Valuation is historically low, profitability metrics are still strong, and the dividend is safe.

UnitedHealth's shares have plunged, but the sell-off creates a rare opportunity: the dividend yield is at a historic high and the valuation is compelling. Despite near-term headwinds—guidance withdrawal, CEO change, and reported DOJ probe—I see long-term prospects as strong, with robust earnings and dividend growth expected.
