$UNH (+1,88%) really delivered in Q3 2025:
- Revenue: $113.2 bn. (+12% YoY)
- Adjusted EPS: $2,92, above expectations
- And the best: Outlook raised! For the full year, management is now targeting EPS of at least $16.25 for the full year.
UnitedHealth is once again showing why it is one of the most stable stocks in the healthcare sector. The business model - insurance + healthcare services - is running smoothly, cost management is in place and the CEO is already talking about a "sustainable growth phase" from 2026.
🧬$REGN (-1,77%)
& $MRK (-0,93%)
- what are the others in the sector doing?
$REGN (-1,77%)
(Regeneron) remains one of the most exciting biotechs around. Strong pipeline, top products like Dupixent, and a lot of fantasy in the areas of oncology & immunology. Of course, biotech is never without risk - but the risk/reward ratio here is definitely attractive.
$MRK (-0,93%)
(Merck & Co.) is the classic in the sector. With Keytruda Merck continues to dominate the market for cancer drugs (over $25 billion in sales annually). In addition, there are strong vaccines, animal health and stable cash flow. Rather conservative, but very reliable.
I personally strongly believe in the pharma sector and the upside that is still there. Between old strength ($MRK (-0,93%) ), innovative pipeline power ($REGN (-1,77%) ) and the solid healthcare base of $UNH (+1,88%) I see enormous potential in the medium term.
Particularly in times when many tech stocks have run hot, healthcare seems to me to be a mix of stability, growth and real substance - exactly what is convincing in the long term.
