Piper Sandler lowered the firm’s price target on UnitedHealth (UNH) to $353 from $552 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm cites a 15-times multiple of lower CY26 adjusted EPS that contemplates both the company’s considerable execution risk and its uniquely capable management team. Piper notes CEO Stephen Hemsley promised reliability, excellence and transparency in brief remarks at the Annual Shareholder Meeting. Repricing at UnitedHealth is the first step in a 3-year turnaround.
