UnitedHealth Group’s stock plummeted 21.44% on April 17, 2025, after slashing its 2025 profit forecast from $29.50-$30 to $26-$26.50 per share due to soaring Medicare Advantage costs. The insurer cited heightened demand for outpatient and physician services, with its medical care ratio rising to 85.5% in 2024. Q1 earnings met expectations at $7.27 per share, but revenue of $109.6 billion missed estimates.
