Q four United earnings out now: While their stock “stumbled” here is the breakdown: - Q4 revenue = $94.4b - Q4 profit = $22.4BILLION - 2023 revenue = $371.6b - 2023 profit = $22.4BILLION This was on a 83.2% MLR, which would’ve been lower had it not been for the recent respiratory surge. Double-digit growth in both Optum and Health Plan. Optum grew VBC patients by 900k to now over 4m and increased revenue by nearly 30% from its acquisition of Change Healthcare. The health plan side saw growth in commercial and MA but lost 700k Medicaid lives. 2024 projections = $400-403B, growing by 30+% and EPS of $27-28. But their stock still didn’t meet expectations and dropped today… What do you all think about this? Well-deserved? Price gouging growing monopoly? Something in between? https://lnkd.in/g8zASt4m

Another day, another blockbuster earnings call. UnitedHealth Group's latest financial reveal might just blend into the increasingly consolidated healthcare landscape for many, but the story the numbers tell shouldn't be brushed aside so casually. Cheered on by some, alarming to others, yet largely accepted as the status quo, Optum's burgeoning dominance continues unchecked. Each quarter brings with it staggering numbers that should prompt a serious conversations, but instead it's business as usual. Here's a glimpse into the figures that, in different audiences, set off alarms and applause: ▶ Optum Health's Patient Growth: Grew by 900,000 more patients ▶Added over 1.7 million new consumers in Medicare and commercial offerings. ▶ Optum Rx's Handled an additional 100 million prescriptions for people. ▶ Optum managed more than $500 billion in consumer payer and care provider payments. ▶ Optum Insight facilitated more than 23 billion electronic transactions. ▶ Achieved over $47 billion in revenue growth. ▶ Reported an adjusted earnings-per-share growth of over 13% in 2023. ▶ Renewed commitment to a long-term adjusted earnings-per-share growth rate of 13% to 16%. Optum's aim for significant revenue and earnings growth, inherently conflicts with patient affordability in many ways, risking higher healthcare costs. Their strategy to own multiple healthcare inputs undermines market competition, likely leading to increased expenses for patients and payers. Optum's financial ambitions suggest a clear prioritization of profit over making healthcare genuinely affordable, challenging the notion of balanced healthcare economics.
