UnitedHealth Group Faces Lower Price Target
5.1
On Feb. 5, Mizuho cut its price target for UnitedHealth Group to $350 from $430 after Q4 results, citing a slower-than-expected earnings recovery. UnitedHealth reported $447.6 billion in 2025 revenue, up 12%, with Medicare & retirement revenue rising about 23% to $171.3 billion and accounting for roughly 38% of sales. Proposed 2027 Medicare Advantage rate freezes pose policy risk to future growth.
