UnitedHealth stock price edges up after-hours as ACA rebate pledge keeps UNH in focus
UnitedHealth shares rose about 0.5% in after-hours trading Friday, closing at $356.26. The move followed CEO Stephen Hemsley’s announcement that the company will rebate profits from its Obamacare plans as Congress scrutinizes insurer practices. Lawmakers questioned UnitedHealth and other major insurers on Capitol Hill over rising costs. Investors await UnitedHealth’s earnings report and 2026 guidance on Jan. 27.
