Lance Wilkes has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that indicate a positive outlook for UnitedHealth. The company has demonstrated pricing discipline in its Medicare Advantage and Optum Health segments, which is expected to restore margins more swiftly despite short-term growth shocks. This disciplined approach, along with a sector-wide recovery in Medicare Advantage and Medicaid, positions UnitedHealth for a strong earnings recovery over the next few years.

The company has also raised its FY25 EPS outlook, reflecting confidence in its financial performance. Additionally, UnitedHealth’s strategic positioning in value-based care and potential advancements in AI solutions for care delivery efficiency are anticipated to drive consistent earnings growth in the medium to long term.
