UnitedHealth $UNH (-6,7 %) has lowered its profit forecast for the full year 2025 after quarterly results fell short of expectations. The insurance giant attributed the weaker performance to increased healthcare spending - particularly due to an increase in complex medical procedures and longer hospital stays. In the first quarter, the company missed analysts' estimates for both turnover and profit. The share price reacted with a significant fall. As the largest US health insurer, UnitedHealth's figures are considered an important indicator for the entire industry and US healthcare costs as a whole.
