UnitedHealth's Stock Might Not Rally Until This Number Improves
2026-03-02 12:20:00 ET
For years, UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) stock has been a terrific growth investment. In fact, it looked unstoppable. Not only did it repeatedly grow its dividend, but the stock was amassing some outstanding results along the way. It was looking like the ultimate healthcare stock to own for the long term.
But things have changed drastically for UnitedHealth Group within just the past 12 months. Concerns about rising costs and investigations into its billing practices have significantly weighed on its valuation. During that time frame, the stock has fallen by 37%. It finished last week at a price of around $293, which is down significantly from its 52-week high of more than $606.
This year, it's already down more than 10%. And whether the health insurance giant is able to turn things around could hinge on one very important metric.
