UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) is the largest health insurer in the world based on market capitalization. The company mainly operates through two business platforms, UnitedHealthcare for providing health benefits to customers and Optum for providing various healthcare services. With its focus on technology and innovation, Optum has been a key differentiating factor for UnitedHealth Group.
The failure of Trumpcare in repealing and replacing Obamacare had a negative impact on the investor sentiment for the overall health insurance industry. However, despite this development, I strongly believe that UnitedHealth Group will prove to be a solid large cap growth opportunity in 2017. In this article, I will present my investment thesis for favoring UnitedHealth Group, especially before its quarterly earnings scheduled to be released on April 18, 2017.
