Scored by the financial-sector model

UNITEDHEALTH GROUP INC is a insurer, scored by a separate financial-sector model — not the operating Moat Score you’ll see on other companies. A bank or insurer is a balance-sheet business the margin-and-ROIC lens doesn’t fit, so it’s read through the components below instead. The two models are calibrated differently and are not comparable: a financial-sector score is never ranked against, sorted with, or averaged into an operating Moat Score. How the models work.

Insider activity

Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”

These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.

This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.

Records still being gathered — partial as of retrieval Oct 15, 2026.

44 filings were skipped because the SEC primary document returned 404; the omission is disclosed and aggregates are withheld.

Among the rows shown, A/F/M acquisition, payment or withholding, and exercise or conversion rows outnumber S sale rows (26 versus 2). The filing codes alone do not establish that every such row arose from a compensation plan.

Trailing-12-month totals and the 90-day cluster result are withheld because this issuer walk is incomplete.

What UnitedHealth Group Incorporated insiders reported

Records still being gathered — partial as of retrieval Oct 15, 2026.

Partial coverage: the incomplete Form 4 walk cannot establish no activity, an activity date, or zero counts.

What the financial-sector model scores (insurer)

100

Median ROE 24.0% on average equity, above the 10% hurdle in 100% of 9 years.

50

Q3 scored 2 evidenced ratios equally.

90

Profitable in 100% of 10 years, ROE steady.

Not scored for this company

Canonical split-adjusted share history is incomplete; no book-value trend claim is made.
Net interest economics apply to banks and lenders; not part of the carrier model.
Loss ratios are not an underwriting-discipline signal for this carrier type (life, regulated-MLR health, title/surety, or unclassified); component not applied.

Scored 3 of 4 applicable components (carrier model); weights renormalized over the scored set.

Fundamentals

The 15-year revenue, margin, and ROIC series is built for the operating model’s lens and isn’t published for banks and insurers — a balance-sheet business is read through the components above, not through operating-company margins.
