  Pulled lower by UnitedHealth Group's ( UNH) paring back of its forecasts for 2025—the news has the giant's shares down roughly 19% in early action—the group is dropping Thursday. (Read Investopedia's live coverage of today's trading here .) The S&P 500's health care sector was recently about 0.3% lower.

This news led to a broader impact on the sector, with other major health insurers like Humana, CVS Health, and Elevance Health also seeing their stock prices fall.
