TC BioPharm (Holdings) PLC ("TC BioPharm" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCBP#NASDAQ">TCBP</a>)&nbsp;a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing platform allogeneic gamma-delta T cell therapies for cancer and other indications, today announced that it intends to begin Proof of Concept preclinical studies for its lead therapeutic TCB008, for treatment in H5N1, commonly known as "Bird Flu." The Company is currently approaching potential university partners to expedite the preclinical work required for a Phase I study.
H5N1 is a viral infection often contracted by contact with sick birds, yet it can also be passed from person to person. Symptoms begin within two to eight days and can seem like the common flu, causing cough, fever, sore throat, muscle aches, headache, and shortness of breath. The disease can carry a high mortality in humans. Some antiviral drugs, if taken within two days of symptoms, may help. Last week, the <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4340843-1&amp;h=149896997&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fldh.la.gov%2Fnews%2FH5N1-death&amp;a=Louisiana+Department+of+Health+recently+reported+the+first+U.S.+death+from+H5N1">Louisiana Department of Health recently reported the first U.S. death from H5N1</a>.

UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) is gearing up to release its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH/earnings"> fourth quarter earnings report</a>, and investors are watching closely. Stephanie Link, CIO at Hightower Advisors LLC, has dubbed the managed care giant the &#8220;number one company on sale&#8221; despite potential near-term earnings pressure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;They&#8217;re Probably Gonna Miss&#8217; Q4 Earnings Expectations </h2>
With estimated earnings per share (EPS) of $6.73 and revenue projections around $101.75 billion according to <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent011525&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> data, UnitedHealth faces scrutiny over high utilization rates that could dent its profit margins. 
On earnings, &#8220;they're probably gonna miss&#8230;because utilization rates are so strong, so high, and it hurts their cost,&#8221; Link <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/01/14/trade-tracker-stephanie-link-buys-unitedhealth.html">remarked</a> during CNBC's Halftime Report. 
However, she sees this as a temporary hiccup, not a long-term trend.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Beat-And-Raise To Strategic Patience</h2>
UnitedHealth, long celebrated for its consistent earnings beats, hasn't seen much stock movement in the past year, but that hasn&#8217;t dampened Link&#8217;s enthusiasm. &#8220;They have a gem with Optum,&#8221; she said, referring to the segment responsible for 24% of the company's revenue and 12% of operating profits. 
Ongoing M&amp;A activity is bolstering Optum's growth trajectory, even as the broader healthcare sector struggles to find favor with investors.

Technically, UnitedHealth shares are experiencing bullish buying pressure, with the stock trading above its eight, 20 and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs).
At $543.74 per share, the price positions UNH stock as a bullish signal across these metrics, although its moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicator of a negative 6.15 suggests caution. Meanwhile, UNH stock&#8217;s relative strength index (RSI) of 56.86 signals moderate strength but room for additional upward movement.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Buying Opportunity In The Making?</h2>
Historically trading at a premium valuation, UnitedHealth now sits at 17 times earnings, compared to its typical 21 times multiple. &#8220;When I owned it, it was trading at something like 25 times, and every quarter was a beat and raise,&#8221; Link noted. Despite the temporary pressure, she believes the stock&#8217;s visibility will only improve post-earnings.
Link remains bullish on UnitedHealth&#8217;s potential, citing strong fundamentals, a promising $18 billion buyback program and expectations of double-digit earnings and revenue growth ahead. &#8220;We&#8217;re gonna see double-digit growth in earnings and revenues,&#8221; she emphasized, viewing current regulatory and litigation concerns as mere &#8220;noise.&#8221;
UnitedHealth's premium status as the &#8220;number one managed care company&#8221; may make today&#8217;s market lull a golden opportunity for savvy investors.
