Shares of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) are trading flat Monday as investors took a cautious stance ahead of the company's upcoming second-quarter earnings report on Tuesday July 29.
What To Know: Analysts currently expect the company to report earnings per share of $4.63 for the quarter. In its previous earnings report, UnitedHealth missed EPS estimates by nine cents, a miss that failed to move the stock at the time but did little to reassure long-term shareholders. Over the past year, the stock has declined more than 50%, raising pressure on management to deliver not only solid financials but also a stronger forward outlook.
