This could allow its bottom line to return to growth, but the road ahead isn't clear. At a recent valuation of 15.6 times trailing 12-month earnings, UnitedHealth Group stock appears inexpensive. Before buying, it's important to realize that Congress could allow Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits expire. If this happens, millions of UnitedHealth customers could find their premiums unaffordable and cancel their plans next year.
