UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) shares rose 2.19% to $386.80 in Tuesday’s premarket trading after the health insurer reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings and raised its full-year profit forecast, supported by improved medical-cost management. The company reported adjusted earnings of $4.69 per share, beating Wall Street’s estimate of $4.14. The figure marked a roughly 61% increase from $2.92 per share in the year-earlier quarter. Quarterly revenue reached $112.7 billion, above analysts’ estimates of $111.3 billion but slightly below the $113.2 billion reported a year earlier. Higher profits alongside lower revenue reflected stronger profitability despite a modest decline in sales.
