Another quarter, another downgrade—UnitedHealth can't catch a break.
Wall Street's favorite healthcare cash cow just posted disappointing profits, sending shares sliding. Management doubled down on the pain by cutting full-year guidance... again.
Here's the diagnosis:
- Earnings came in below expectations (surprise!)
- 2025 outlook trimmed for second straight quarter
- Stock down 3% premarket—wiping out year-to-date gains
Analysts are calling it 'selective underperformance' (Wall Street code for 'we guessed wrong'). Meanwhile, UnitedHealth keeps printing money—just slightly less than their absurdly optimistic projections.
Funny how these 'unexpected' misses keep happening while C-suite bonuses hit all-time highs. But hey—that's managed care for you.
