BTCCSquare news:
Berkshire Hathaway's revelation of a new 5 million-share stake in UnitedHealth Group ignited a 9% after-hours surge for the embattled insurer. The Oracle of Omaha's return to UNH marks his largest healthcare MOVE since exiting the position in 2010, despite the company facing federal probes, leadership transitions, and a 17% single-day stock crash after dismal Q2 earnings.
UnitedHealth's guidance cut to $16/share for 2025—well below Wall Street expectations—reflects deteriorating margins across both insurance and Optum divisions. The investment comes as UNH trades at a depressed 12x earnings multiple, weighed down by cyberattack fallout affecting 193 million people and spiraling medical costs.
