  • This is part three of a 13-part series about companies whose shares have amassed 100,000% returns for investors and the path taken to generate such impressive gains over the long term. See below for links to the other stocks in this series.

The article from Kiplinger discusses the remarkable performance of UnitedHealth Group (UNH) stock, highlighting its entry into the "100,000 Percent Return Club." Since its initial public offering in 1984, UNH has provided investors with a return of over 100,000%, significantly outperforming the S&P 500. This success is attributed to the company's strategic mergers and acquisitions, which have expanded its reach and diversified its services in the healthcare sector. Key acquisitions include Oxford Health Plans in 2004, PacifiCare Health Systems in 2005, and the more recent $13 billion acquisition of Change Healthcare in 2022. These moves have not only increased its market share but also enhanced its capabilities in technology and data analytics, positioning UNH as a leader in healthcare management and services. The article also notes that while past performance does not guarantee future results, UNH's consistent growth and strategic foresight make it a compelling case study in long-term investment success.
