Jacob King: UnitedHealth faces DOJ probe causing stock plunge

UnitedHealth, the largest health insurer in the United States, is experiencing a significant downturn.
The Department of Justice has initiated an investigation into possible Medicare fraud, a development that has led to a sharp decline in UnitedHealth's stock price. Trading in after-hours saw the company's stock fall over 6 percent, further escalating concerns among investors.
In a dramatic reversal of fortunes, the healthcare giant has seen more than half of its market capitalization wiped out in the past month, which equates to over $350 billion in lost value.
Analysts remain cautious as the investigation unfolds, with many watching closely for the impact this could have on the broader health sector's stability. The focus now shifts to the reactions of stakeholders and how UnitedHealth plans to navigate this challenging situation.
