Analyst consensus captured from Finnhub and Financial Modeling Prep. This archived preview is no longer updated with later results; see the UNH page for retained reports.
Drawn from management commentary in the Q2 2026 10-Q:
The consolidated medical care ratio (MCR) decreased from 89.4% to 86.7%, primarily due to favorable prior period reserve development, affordability initiatives, and medical cost management, partially offset by elevated medical cost trends above historical levels.
Total UnitedHealthcare medical membership fell by 1.6 million, or 3%, to 48.5 million, driven by benefit design and pricing actions in Medicare Advantage, reduced Medicaid eligibility, and the exit from one state. Commercial fee-based membership grew by 735,000, partially offsetting declines in risk-based segments.
Optum Health's earnings from operations rose 177% to $1.19 billion, despite a 5% revenue decline, due to cost management, increased favorable reserve development, and a $50 million net decrease in loss contract reserves.
