UnitedHealth beat earnings expectations in the third quarter with adjusted EPS of $4.69 and raised its 2026 annual forecast to at least $20.50. Revenue fell slightly, but profitability and operating margin improved thanks to lower medical costs, better cost management, and a favorable reserve development. Optum contributed with higher operating results, while membership — particularly in Medicare Advantage — declined, posing a risk to the sustainability of margins. » Mais em finanzen.net

UnitedHealth, under new management led by Stephen Hemsley, aims to cut operating expenses and the medical loss ratio and is pursuing a "shrink-to-grow" strategy that may depress revenue and member counts in the short term. The company remains under pressure from rising treatment volumes, probes into billing practices, a cyberattack and the death of CEO Brian Thompson. Analysts expect Q3 revenue declines but an adjusted EPS of about $4.14; steady Medicare star ratings are seen as a positive sign of business resilience. Investors will mainly watch progress on the turnaround and balance-sheet strengthening. » Mais em finanzen.net
