UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) is set to issue its next quarterly dividend on June 24, 2025, paying $2.10 per share.
For investors holding 100 shares, that amounts to a $210 payout next month, provided the stock is owned before the ex-dividend date of June 16.
This upcoming dividend maintains parity with UnitedHealth’s previous quarterly payout and reflects the company’s long-term commitment to shareholder returns. Annualized, UNH’s dividend per share has grown from $3.45 in 2018 to $8.40 in 2025, while its trailing dividend yield now stands at 2.82%. When including buybacks, UnitedHealth offers a total yield of 5.48%, positioning it as a reliable income stock even amid recent volatility.
That volatility, however, has intensified.
UNH stock drama
Since April 11, 2025, UNH has entered a prolonged and troubling downtrend. A sharp 5.71% drop on May 21 closing at $302.98, marked one of the worst daily selloffs in the company’s history.
UnitedHealth stock is now down 42% year-to-date and 43% over the past 12 months, erasing half a decade of gains. The steep decline has been attributed to weaker-than-expected Q1 earnings, a reduction in full-year guidance, and increasing operational pressures.
At the same time, insider selling activity has picked up, with top executives reducing their holdings just as scrutiny over the company’s vertical integration model heats up.
Despite this backdrop, UNH stock showed some signs of stabilizing, closing at $298.11 on May 29 and trading higher in pre-market at $301.80.
