Jim Cramer Reveals Why He's Changed His Mind About UnitedHealth Group (UNH)

We recently published 13 Latest Stocks on Jim Cramer’s Radar. UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH)’s shares have been in trouble in 2025 as they have lost 29% year-to-date following a 27% fall in April and a 28% fall in May. Some of the pessimism surrounding the stock is due to reports that the Justice Department is investigating the firm. Cramer’s previous comments in the context of these reports have fluctuated from being worried to sharing that UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) would have disclosed if anything was wrong. This time, he said the following after co-host David Faber asked how he has turned positive on the firm:

“Yeah well I just think at a certain point, the company, the seasoned CEO, knows not to put out things if he’s also worried or [inaudible] with the Justice Department. He’s a seasoned guy, I’ve known him for a long time, he’s not a hype artist. And by the way, I was with them for a very long time, UnitedHealth, and I did it because of the stars.

“I’m not against this stock for the last 40 points. .

“[On how the stock was up 37% for the month] Well we thought that there was a chance that the Justice Department would sue them and therefore that would be the end. But it hasn’t happened. Not sue, I mean like indict them is what I mean. Cause you’re not gonna get a lot of government money if you’re indicted.”
