The $3.3 billion Amedisys deal cleared DOJ review, but Warren's breakup push keeps legislative antitrust risk alive for UnitedHealth holders.
UnitedHealth already sells your insurance, employs your doctor, and manages your prescriptions. Now Trump's DOJ let them buy home health and hospice giant Amedisys for $3.3 BILLION – giving them MORE power to raise costs and deny care. We need to break up Big Medicine.
Every one of today's five worst performers in a 383-name universe lost double digits, led by CoreWeave's 15.42% drop. The best gain on the other side was capped at 4.62%, so the downside is moving far faster than the upside.
CoreWeave is down 12% at the open, the worst move across the priority universe and a level worth checking before the session settles. Bank of America, sitting exactly at $50, is the blue chip to keep an eye on next.
A 5.1% slide to $377.13 erases roughly $18 billion from the largest US health insurer on the day of its Q3 earnings report, where a beat sat alongside the Medicare exit impact. Moves this size are rare for a Dow component this big.
A 5.4% slide to $375.74 is a rare one-day drop for a $337 billion insurer, and it comes on an earnings report where a Q3 beat was offset by the Medicare exit impact. Keep an eye on whether buyers step in near the lows.
UnitedHealth reports at 5:55 AM ET, with analysts looking for $4.15 in EPS on $111.49 billion in revenue. The last two quarters cleared estimates by wide margins, so guidance on Medicare Advantage margins and the widening DOJ antitrust probe will set the tone for the stock.
Q3 earnings season front-loads everything into two mornings: JPMorgan, Goldman, Wells Fargo, Citi, UnitedHealth and Johnson & Johnson all report before the open Tuesday, with Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, BlackRock and ASML following Wednesday. Of 51 companies on the week, 38 land before the bell, so the tone for rates, credit and chip demand gets set early.
