UnitedHealth Hits Peak Panic After DOJ Probe. A Bottom Is Near
UNH
Published: May 15, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

UnitedHealth Group stock has plummeted since my last Buy rating and is ~55% off highs, but its lower valuation now offers a significant margin of safety, making it a Buy. Disappointing Q1-2025 results and unexpected CEO changes have hurt the stock, but Stephen Hemsley's return as CEO should bring stability and experience. A DOJ probe against UnitedHealth adds to the risks and downside potential. However, I'm willing to take this risk at a "derisked" valuation.
