UnitedHealth Group (UNH) shares fell 5% in premarket trading Thursday after the company reported fourth-quarter results that missed analysts' expectations.
The healthcare giant's revenue grew 7% year-over-year to $100.8 billion, below the Visible Alpha consensus. Its earnings of $5.54 billion, or $5.98 per share, also missed analysts' estimates.
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $6.81 topped expectations.
The company affirmed its 2025 outlook of revenue between $450 billion and $455 billion, EPS of $28.15 to $28.65, and adjusted EPS of $29.50 to $30.00.
Thursday's results are the company's first since the CEO of its UnitedHealthcare unit, Brian Thompson, was fatally shot on Dec. 4.
