  • UnitedHealth Stock Drives Dow's Nearly 1% Drop Amid Disappointing Earnings
    January 27, 2026, 3:44 PM EST. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 1% on Tuesday, weighed down by UnitedHealth Group's stock, which plunged almost 20% after reporting disappointing earnings and a revenue forecast cut. UnitedHealth faces headwinds from lower Medicare Advantage payments and scaling back operations, hitting its price-weighted influence on the Dow hard. In contrast, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rose, buoyed by gains in chip stocks and AI infrastructure companies. UnitedHealth's $351.64 share price makes it a significant factor in the Dow, where stock price drives weight, unlike market-cap weighted indexes. Meanwhile, other high-priced Dow stocks such as Goldman Sachs, Home Depot, and American Express also declined, adding to the index's slide.
