UnitedHealth extends drop to 10% pre-market after suspending 2025 outlook
UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH) saw its stock price drop by 10% in pre-market trading on May 13, 2025, following the company's decision to suspend its 2025 outlook. The move comes amid ongoing public scrutiny and regulatory pressures surrounding UnitedHealthcare's policies.The stock's decline was driven by the company's announcement that it would not provide a 2025 earnings outlook, citing heightened uncertainty and regulatory risks. The decision to suspend the outlook follows a series of events that have cast a shadow over UnitedHealth's corporate strategy, including the murder of its CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024 and subsequent public outcry over UnitedHealthcare's coverage denials.
Investors have been closely watching UnitedHealth's earnings outlook, with the company's shares experiencing significant volatility in recent months. The latest development has further fueled concerns about the company's ability to navigate the challenging regulatory environment and maintain its profitability.
UnitedHealth's stock has been under pressure since the murder of CEO Brian Thompson, with shares plummeting more than 22% on April 17, 2025, following the company's revised earnings outlook. The stock's steepest one-day fall since 1998 was attributed to the company's signal of a softening in corporate strategy, which was not disclosed to investors.
The company's decision to suspend its 2025 outlook is the latest in a series of moves aimed at addressing the heightened public scrutiny and regulatory risks. UnitedHealth has been facing increased scrutiny from lawmakers and regulatory agencies over its policies and practices, with some lawmakers questioning the company's denials of coverage and its impact on patients and healthcare providers.
Despite the recent setbacks, analysts remain optimistic about UnitedHealth's long-term prospects, with some projecting a potential 38% upside in the stock price over the next two years. However, the company's ability to navigate the current challenges and maintain its profitability will be crucial in determining its future performance.
