UnitedHealth Group reports before the open on October 13, with analysts looking for $4.15 in earnings per share. The company has cleared expectations by wide margins in each of the last two quarters.

Management's commentary on Medicare Advantage margins will drive the stock's reaction more than any single income statement line. That segment is central to long-term growth and has faced industry-wide pressure on medical costs.
The widening Department of Justice antitrust probe adds legal and regulatory uncertainty that guidance language will need to address directly. Any update on the scope of that investigation, or silence where investors expect clarity, moves the stock sharply.
