The backtest results show that UNH has a moderate positive response following earnings beats, with a 55.56% win rate over 3 days and a 66.67% win rate over 10 days, though the 30-day win rate drops to 44.44%. The average returns are modestly positive in the short term but slightly negative over 30 days, with a maximum return of 1.66% occurring around day 18. This suggests that UNH tends to gain shortly after earnings beats but may not sustain gains long term. Investors might consider short-term positions to capitalize on immediate post-earnings momentum.

The backtest results reveal that the Health Care Providers & Services Industry experienced a slight negative impact, with a maximum return of -0.19% on the event day following earnings beats. This suggests that despite beating expectations, the industry did not benefit positively in the immediate term. The analysis indicates that earnings beats in this sector may not translate into immediate stock price gains, possibly due to market anticipation or other overriding factors. Investors should be cautious and consider that positive earnings surprises in this industry might not yield short-term returns.

The backtest results reveal that UnitedHealth Group's earnings beat positively impacts the Capital Markets industry, showing sustained gains over 48 days, while the Automobiles sector experiences a prolonged negative effect. This divergence highlights a rotation of investor preference towards more stable, growth-oriented sectors like healthcare and financial services following strong earnings reports.

The analysis suggests that earnings beats from major healthcare firms can signal broader economic optimism, driving capital market activity and reallocating resources away from cyclical industries.

Investors might consider overweighting Capital Markets and underweighting Automobiles in response to similar healthcare earnings surprises.
