Why UnitedHealth Stock Is Sinking Today
Shares of UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) are falling on Tuesday, down 5.4% as of 2:20 p.m. ET. The drop comes as the S 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) declined 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) fell 0.2%.
The troubled health insurance giant set worse-than-expected guidance on Tuesday.
The company reported its Q2 financials today, revealing the insurer is still very much struggling.
