UnitedHealth Group Inc. revealed its first-quarter financial outcomes for 2025, showcasing a revenue of $109.6 billion, which marks a 10% increase year-over-year. Despite this growth, the figures fell short of market expectations. The company reported net earnings of $6.5 billion, a significant turnaround from the $1.2 billion loss recorded in the same quarter the previous year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) stood at $6.85, contrasting sharply with the $1.53 loss per share in Q1 2024.

Looking ahead, UnitedHealth has revised its 2025 financial outlook, anticipating net EPS in the range of $24.65 to $25.15 and adjusted EPS between $26 and $26.50. "Our growth in serving more people more comprehensively didn't meet our expectations. We're aggressively tackling these challenges to ensure strong positioning for future years and to return to our long-term earnings growth target of 13% to 16%," stated CEO Andrew Witty.
