UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) is one of the largest healthcare benefits providers in America. Its stock has been one of the most dynamic in 2025 as it has lost 43% year-to-date. The stock is down due to the firm’s disastrous earnings results in April, which led the shares to lose 27%. UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH)’s stock also fell by another 28% in May after the firm pulled its outlook, announced its CEO was leaving, and reports surfaced that the firm was being investigated by the Justice Department. Cramer commented on the multiple strategies:

“And, United Health is just a tragedy on so many different levels.”

Previously, Cramer discussed how UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH)’s new CEO was the right executive for the job:

“UnitedHealth is very, very tricky, and it might be a long-term turn, but I will tell you this, Steve Hemsley is the only person I know who could possibly turn this thing around. Hemsley’s back as CEO, he was amazing. I think you have to have fortitude to be in it. I don’t like the situation because there’s so many winners, as you say, but at least I want people to know that I think Hemsley’s is the real deal.”
