UnitedHealth Beats Estimates
The company now expects full-year adjusted earnings of more than $18.25 per share, up from its previous projection.
UnitedHealth also announced a $2 billion stock buyback program, signaling confidence in its ongoing turnaround following a period of corporate instability.
The surge in profit was partly driven by the company's $1.5 billion investment in AI technologies to manage medical costs.
Managed care stocks across the sector jumped in response to the positive report.
