UnitedHealth: Should You Buy This Falling Knife?
UNH
Published: May 15, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

Despite massive recent weakness and uncertainty, I believe UNH is a "reluctant" buy due to its cash flow, dividend, and systemic importance. UNH faces unprecedented selling pressure, CEO resignation, DOJ investigation, and negative public sentiment, making it a high risk/reward investment currently. Valuation is compelling: UNH trades at 11-13x forward earnings, with a reasonable expectation of earnings recovery and growth returning in 2026.
