联合健康集团第三季度业绩超预期并上调全年利润指引
UnitedHealth Group tops estimates, hikes profit outlook as insurer manages high medical costs
UnitedHealth Group's adjusted earnings per share in the third quarter were $4.69 and revenue was $112.69 billion, both exceeding expectations, and it raised its adjusted earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2026 to at least $20.50. The medical cost ratio in the quarter was 88.4%, lower than analysts' expectations of 89.9%. The company said it would control medical costs by shrinking membership, exiting loss-making contracts, and investing in AI and value-based care.
As a heavyweight in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, UnitedHealth's performance exceeded expectations and raised its profit guidance, which may strengthen the market's judgment on the resilience of the U.S. economy, thereby affecting the U.S. dollar index and the safe-haven demand for gold. Traders can pay attention to the marginal changes in overall risk appetite caused by this news, as well as the resulting fluctuations in the gold and foreign exchange markets.
