UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) is one of the Stocks That Can Make You Richer in 2026. On March 25, UBS reiterated a Buy rating on UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) with a price target of $410.

​The rating comes after the firm met with the management. During the meeting, management reaffirmed its 2026 EPS seasonality split of 65% in the first half and 35% in the second half of the year. The firm noted that this implies stronger earnings early in the year, consistent with historical Medicare Advantage and Part D seasonality. In addition, the medical loss ratio (MLR) slope across quarters is also expected to be less than last year, when the Q1 to Q4 MLR spread was about 7.5% due to Part D.

​Management also noted that it is comfortable with the current first‑quarter MLR consensus in the low‑to‑mid 85% range. The firm noted that this suggests no immediate downside surprise risk on near‑term MLRs versus street expectations.

UBS highlighted that both Optum Insight and OptumRx are expected to show more “back‑end‑loaded” financial performance, with Optum Insight’s performance skewed toward the second half, reflecting typical seasonality and heavier investment in the first half. On the other hand, OptumRx in the first half of the quarter is expected to see more upfront investments as the company onboards new contracts.

​UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH), a diversified healthcare company, spans insurance, care delivery, pharmacy benefits, software, and analytics. Its UnitedHealthcare and Optum franchises support coordinated care, cost management, and data-driven services.
