UnitedHealth (UNH) Faces Sell Call Amid Margin Squeeze, Regulatory Risks
UnitedHealth (UNH, Financials) shares gained 1% Monday after newly reinstated CEO Steve Hemsley apologized for the company's first earnings miss since 2008 and vowed to restore shareholder trust at the annual meeting. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Sign with UNH. Hemsley replaced Andrew Witty last month amid fallout from the earnings shortfall and the suspension of full-year guidance due to soaring medical costs in the Medicare Advantage segment. The company also faces pressure from federal investigations and regulatory scrutiny over billing and drug pricing practices. We are well aware we have not fulfilled your expectations or our own, Hemsley told shareholders. We apologize for that performance, and we're humbly determined to earn back your trust and your confidence. Hemsley previously served as CEO from 2006 to 2013. Shareholders approved his new three-year pay package, which includes equity awards valued at $60 million. Proxy firms were split on the vote, with ISS opposing and Glass Lewis supporting the plan. UnitedHealth is reviewing operations across all units, including Optum Rx and UnitedHealthcare. The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly examining billing practices tied to its integrated Medicare Advantage services, though the company says it has not received a criminal notification. The company's private insurance and 2026 Medicare Advantage plans will be adjusted to account for higher care costs, Hemsley said. The CEO transition follows the December killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York, which added further disruption to the company's leadership stability. Investors are now watching for updates on regulatory probes, Medicare audits, and Q2 cost trends that could shape UnitedHealth's revised guidance trajectory. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
