Throughout life things are going to happen. One day you may just be running around and boom... You end up in the hospital. It would be best to have some type of healthcare coverage to help cover the cost of major accidents and even minor upkeep. Enter United Healthcare, one of the largest healthcare plan providers in the United States. Most recently famous from the public execution of their CEO by Luigi and no not that one from super mario bros.
Overview
nitedHealth Group Incorporated operates as a health care company in the United States and internationally. The company operates through four segments: UnitedHealthcare, Optum Health, Optum Insight, and Optum Rx.

Financials
Interesting enough... When I posted a note about doing a write up on United Healthcare, the stock was at all time highs but most recently within the past six months. There's been a huge drop in the stock price around April of Last year. Looks like the stock has been attempting to recover. This could have to do with the media coverage of the Luigi trial but more than likely this could have to do with the swift change of leadership as a result. The PE is 18.11 and EPS is 19.20 with a stable beta of .43 @TOP.
This stock appears to be undervalued at the time of post and has room to climb to $400. 2026. Investor sentiment is that the stock is a BUY but is the entry point too high right now for some people?
