Given the recent sell-side activity from congressional members, it leads one to question UnitedHealth Group's future. First let's look at how UnitedHealth Group has been performing recently.

As you can see, despite the recent sell-off by members of Congress, UnitedHealth Group has performed well over the past three months, achieving a 2.73% return.

Recap

Over the past three months, 3 congressional members have sold over $66K dollars worth of UnitedHealth Group stock, while the stock has gained 2.73% over the same timeframe.

The recent sell-side activity by congress could be a result of members capitalizing on gains if they believe the current trend will not continue. On the other hand, congressional members can sell stock for a variety of reasons, including personal financial needs or diversification of their investment portfolios, so it's important to keep a balanced perspective and look at the company's performance holistically.

As always, investors should conduct their due diligence and consider other factors, such as a company's financials, analyst ratings, and broader market trends, before making any investment decisions.
