In its first quarter of 2025, UnitedHealth Group reported strong financial results with a significant increase in revenue and earnings per share compared to the previous year.

Earnings from operations reached $9.1 billion, and the net margin improved to 5.7%. UnitedHealthcare’s revenue grew to $84.6 billion, driven by an increase in consumers served, while Optum’s revenue rose to $63.9 billion, led by growth in Optum Rx.

Looking ahead, UnitedHealth Group is focused on overcoming current challenges and is confident in its ability to achieve its revised earnings outlook for 2025.
