UnitedHealth Group Inc (UNH) is facing a period of volatility, with mixed opinions among experts about its future. While some see potential for recovery and growth, especially with improvements in fundamentals and a return of the previous CEO, others are wary due to regulatory challenges and high medical costs persisting in the U.S. healthcare market. Many analysts highlight the stock's recent downturn, attributing it to uncertainties including proposals from the Trump administration that could impact Medicare Advantage rates. Despite these challenges, several experts see value in the stock at current levels, indicating a possible turnaround as the company stabilizes its earnings and pricing strategies. However, caution is advised as many foresee a bumpy road ahead with potential regulatory scrutiny continuing to impact the business.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Very well manged company - best in sector.
Does not own shares.
Investing in other areas in healthcare sector.
Share price falling on concerns for pricing power.
Good long term investment. 

BUY

Likes their fundamentals as well as the healthcare sector, a sector which has been rallying.

BUY

Likes it, with the economy opening up and the company securing some price increases. Not a home run stock. You're looking at returns of 10-15% per annum.

DON'T BUY

He owns many healthcare names including UHN, but isn't excited about these names because they have lost momentum. Their CFO has warned of higher costs, which has lowered the bar a today. Earnings beat today, yes, but the bar is very low.

BUY

A core holding. It performed well, though down 8% this year. Revenue is up 13%, though costs up 16%. Their medical ratio is at 83% vs. 81% last year, but in line with the street. Shares are jumping today on earnings.

BUY

Shares are down 9% YTD, but is rallying 8% today on strong earnings. Has always liked this stalwart in healthcare.

TOP PICK

Massive insurance company with very strong business.
Mostly benefiting from secular growth.
16% compounding rate in earnings. 
Current share price presenting great opportunity to buy.
Excellent long term hold.

HOLD

Down 7% today after UNH warned of higher costs ahead. The sell-off is an over-reaction. Of course, surgeries cost more because hospitals are supply-constrained so that slows growth. Also, insurers can reprice each year, raising prices. This will work itself out.

DON'T BUY

Trading way up at its FMV, and usually that's it for the stock. Not much more upside. Buy CNC instead.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 03/22, Up 2%)

It is a defensive stock that is executing very well as a large health insurance company with its own physician networks and clinics. It administers Medicare and Medicaid and has a clear runway for double digit growth. Yield is 1.3%

BUY

His preference in the space. It's insulated from retail exposure, which is impacted with more prescriptions being filled online. Benefits from trend to value-based care, which pays for patient outcomes rather than services provided.

BUY

He bought more yesterday. They're a perennial compounder. They will overcome the MLR (medical loss ratio), a concern. Management is almost flawless in reporting quarters and guiding. They will continue to grow.

BUY

Likes it. It's a compounder. Low unemployment is a catalyst for health. Medicare has been strong

BUY

Falling after earnings, though beat revenues and EPS and raised guidance. Are the cream of the crop in healthcare services. The fall comes from the lighter-than-expected guide, and they had a nice ride in recent weeks.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They rallied into today's earnings. Though client acquisition has stagnated, their crossover business has grown revenues. He welcomes today's weakness, so he can add shares.
