Health Care Up After UnitedHealth Earnings -- Health Care Roundup

Dow Jones
04/22

Health-care companies rose after strong earnings from the largest U.S. health insurer by enrollees.

UnitedHealth Group reported first-quarter results that substantially overshot Wall Street expectations and raised its annual guidance, signaling progress in its financial turnaround.

Shares of Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Viking Therapeutics fell after Amazon.com announced it would sell GLP-1-based weight-loss drugs through its Amazon One Medical platform. The GLP-1 craze initially bolstered these drugmakers' earnings and share prices. In recent months, however, stiff competition from one another and from digital pharmacies such as Hims & Hers has weighed on Lilly, Novo and Viking, and all three are in the red for the year to date.
