💨 Abstract

UnitedHealth Group's shares rose significantly before Friday's market open after Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, disclosed it had purchased 5 million shares worth $1.57 billion. UnitedHealth has faced numerous challenges, including investigations into Medicare billing practices, a major CEO tragedy, health care cost spikes, and a stock value drop of nearly half in the past year. Despite recent gains, the stock remains under pressure.
