Buffett's Berkshire acquires 5 million shares in UnitedHealth
Aug 14 (Reuters) - Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa.N), opens new tab has acquired 5 million shares in UnitedHealth Group (UNH.N), opens new tab, a regulatory filing showed on Thursday, sending the health insurer's stock up 7% in extended trading. Billionaire investor Buffett owned about 1.18 million shares in UnitedHealth between 2006 and 2009, before selling his entire stake in 2010 amid a broader retreat from health insurers. The investment comes as UnitedHealth faces soaring medical costs, federal investigations, the fallout of the killing of a top executive and a cyberattack last year. The healthcare conglomerate has signaled prolonged pain with a new, far lower profit forecast as it sees billions of additional costs in the upcoming quarters. Shares of the Dow component have slumped 46% so far this year.

Chevy's Next Van Could Be a Rebadged Hyundai Staria 'Spaceship'
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. General Motors might be about to replace its aging Express and Savana vans with something straight out of a sci-fi sketchbook. According to reports, Chevy's next light commercial vehicle could be a rebadged Hyundai Staria — the futuristic van currently sold in Asia and Europe. The move comes as GM deepens its product-sharing alliance with Hyundai, with five co-developed vehicles planned by 2028. It's a surprising turn for a brand more often associated with full-size pickups, muscle cars like the rumoured 1,000-horsepower Camaro ZL1 crossover, and giant EV trucks, but it could breathe life into a commercial lineup that's been stuck way back into the early 2000's. 1 / 2 Zoom In Launch Gallery A GM-Hyundai Partnership With Range Under the deal, Hyundai will provide the basic platform and drivetrain technology, while GM handles exterior design tweaks and the all-important Chevrolet badging. The Staria's space-age looks — tall beltline, wraparound glass, and cab-forward stance — would be a shock to traditional van buyers, but GM sees opportunity in offering something distinctive to fleets and small businesses. Hyundai has electric and hybrid versions ready, and an American-market Staria could sit alongside Chevy's other EV projects, including the record-setting Silverado EV, which recently covered more than 1,000 miles without charging. 1 / 2 Zoom In Launch Gallery From Spaceship to Showroom If it arrives in North America, the van could be built domestically starting in 2028, with passenger and cargo configurations aimed at both retail buyers and commercial operators. Hyundai's global Staria lineup includes all-electric PBV (purpose-built vehicle) variants and efficient turbo-hybrids — powertrains that would give Chevy a modern edge in a segment dominated by boxy, thirsty rivals. For Chevrolet, which still sells one of the cheapest cars in America alongside high-end sports cars, this sort of versatility is part of a broader strategy to cover more of the market without huge in-house development costs. 1 / 2 Zoom In Launch Gallery A Bold Bet on Style and Substance Whether American van buyers are ready for something that looks more like a Star Trek shuttle than a cargo hauler remains to be seen. Yet the move is somewhat sensible: GM gets a fresh, efficient, and safety-tech-packed product years sooner than it could develop one from scratch. For Hyundai, it's a way to push more volume through its PBV platform while reaching markets where it has little van presence. If Chevy can combine Hyundai's engineering with a price point and dealer network that makes sense, the 'spaceship van' might just succeed in a segment that rarely makes headlines.
