- UNH’s sideways trade remains a gift after the regulatory probe/ cyberattack, with things remaining uncertain through 2025.
- Despite near-term challenges, the management reports double beat FQ1’24 earnings, offered an optimistic FY2024 guidance, and raises dividend by +11.7%.
- With UNH still trading near to its 10Y P/E mean, the stock remains a compelling Buy here, with great upside potential and expanded forward dividend yields.
- Assuming that it can counter these near-term headwinds, we believe that the health care company may emerge much stronger by 2025, aided by the Brazil divestiture.
- We will also be highlighting a few metrics to look out for in the upcoming FQ2’24 earnings call on July 16, 2024, with it underscoring the health of UNH’s businesses along with near-term prospects.
