As UnitedHealth Group released disappointing second-quarter results on July 29, the health care giant indicated rising consumer costs may be in the mix for 2026.
The company’s revenue for the quarter totaled $111.6 billion—$2 billion more than the first quarter’s $109.6 billion and $12.8 billion higher than the $98.9 billion reported in the same period in 2024. However, it reported earnings per share of $4.08, falling short of the $4.45 expected by Wall Street analysts.
