UnitedHealth stock nosedived 20% in morning trading, falling by $116 per share from Wednesday’s $585 close to $469. The Minnesota-based firm is on track for its steepest daily loss since Aug. 6, 1998.
The losses came after UnitedHealth’s first-quarter financial report was worse than analysts expected across each of the three major quarterly yardsticks: revenue, earnings per share and future earnings outlook.
Furthermore, after the opening bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 1.3%, or around 500 points. The S&P 500 moved up 0.4%, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ composite gained 0.5%.
