UnitedHealth Group (US91324P1021) continues to trade as one of the largest healthcare names on the NYSE, with the shares quoted a little above 400 dollars on Tuesday according to MarketScreener and TrendSpider. Analysts keep a distinctly positive view on the Dow Jones and S&P 500 constituent, with recent target price increases underlining the bullish consensus.

What recent analyst notes show

On June 8, JPMorgan lifted its price target on UnitedHealth Group to 466 dollars from 420 dollars while reiterating an Overweight rating, according to a MarketScreener aggregation of research updates. A week later, Leerink Partners moved its target from 400 dollars to 462 dollars and maintained an Outperform recommendation, adding another supportive signal from the sell side.

The same data set points to above average trading volume over the past month, suggesting that investor interest in the shares remains robust as the sector digests political and regulatory headlines.
