(NYSE:UNH) is one of the most oversold S&P 500 stocks in 2025, declining substantially due to weak quarterly results, guidance revision, CEO departure, and guidance suspension.

As UnitedHealth approaches Q2 2025 earnings, analyst Andrew Mok lowered the price target to $337, citing reduced earnings per share forecast for 2026. Despite the adjustment, he remains positive about the company’s long-term potential but takes a more cautious stance on short-term earnings outlook.
Wolfe Research analyst Justin Lake also reduced UnitedHealth’s price target to $330 from $363, maintaining a Buy rating. Lake attributes the lower target to headwinds in Medicaid and health insurance exchanges, as well as increased expenses to align the company.
