Unitedhealth Group stock price 2026–2030: scenarios
If Unitedhealth Group's earnings keep growing at the 18.6% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 38.21 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (21.8 to 32.3) that is 834.02 to 1,235.87 a share, or 1,002.11 at its average P/E of 26.2. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 20.60 | 449.70 | 540.33 | 666.38 |
| FY2027 | 23.42 | 511.19 | 614.22 | 757.50 |
| FY2028 | 27.18 | 593.31 | 712.89 | 879.19 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 32.23 | 703.44 | 845.22 | 1,042.38 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 38.21 | 834.02 | 1,002.11 | 1,235.87 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after continue its 18.6% a year. Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of the last five fiscal year ends (21.8, 26.2, 32.3).
Is Unitedhealth Group stock undervalued or overvalued?
Unitedhealth Group's P/E of 23.4 is around the middle of its 5-year range (9.9 to 40.3, median 25.3). It is in line with its own history. Fair value is not a reliable guide for Unitedhealth Group: its earnings swing (EPS fell 35.0% in FY2024), so its usual P/E would mislead. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 19.9.
