UnitedHealth Group (UNH) shows early signs of recovery after a turbulent first half of 2024, with its stock plunging 31% year-to-date against a 1% sector decline. The managed care giant's rare Q1 earnings miss—its first since 2008—stemmed from flawed pricing assumptions, as CEO Tim Noel acknowledged during the earnings call.
Despite healthcare's underperformance relative to the S&P 500's 12.5% gain, UNH emerged as the index's top performer last month. This rebound suggests institutional confidence in management's corrective measures, though regulatory pressures and reimbursement uncertainties persist across the sector.
