The longer record shows a sharp break in 2025. Annual EPS rose from $22.19 in 2022 to $25.12 in 2023 and $27.67 in 2024, then fell 41% to $16.31 in 2025.

Revenue has stayed between $109.6 billion and $113.2 billion for six quarters. Across the last 20 quarters, UnitedHealth Group beat EPS estimates 17 times, missed twice and matched once.
UnitedHealth Group has reported its third quarter between October 13 and 28 in each of the last five years, so the next report is likely in mid-to-late October 2026. First-half 2026 EPS totals $13.61, 20.7% above a year earlier. The key questions are whether EPS holds above $6 and whether revenue moves out of its recent range.
