UnitedHealth stock climbs on strong Medicare Advantage ratings outlook

msn.com

UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) rose 4% in premarket trading Tuesday after the healthcare giant reaffirmed its 2025 earnings guidance and shared positive early results from its Medicare Advantage star ratings.

In an SEC filing, the company projected that by 2027 around 78% of its Medicare Advantage members will be enrolled in plans rated four stars or higher. This level, UnitedHealth emphasized, is “consistent with our expectations and in line with historical performance.”

The firm also confirmed its previously issued forecast for adjusted 2025 earnings per share. That guidance includes the recently completed acquisition of Amedisys, finalized in August 2025. UnitedHealth noted the deal will be slightly dilutive to adjusted EPS in the near term due to financing costs and integration spending.

Star ratings for Medicare Advantage plans, which are scored on a scale from 1 to 5, play a crucial role for insurers. Higher ratings boost government reimbursement, unlock bonus payments, and allow companies to provide additional benefits—factors that can help attract new customers.

UnitedHealth released the update ahead of a series of investor and analyst meetings scheduled from September 8 to 10, where senior executives will outline the company’s strategy, market position, and recent performance.
