UnitedHealth ($UNH) announced its quarterly results, and the market reaction was very positive.
The company beat analysts’ expectations on:
In other words, UnitedHealth delivered a triple beat.
Following the results, the stock jumped by around 10%, rewarding investors who had been betting on the company’s turnaround.
That said, it is important to note that the company’s earnings are still below 2025 levels. However, the return to growth is an encouraging sign.
Analysts currently have a 12-month price target of around $360 for the stock, although we could see upward revisions if the company continues to show improving momentum.
Symbotic ($SYM) develops fully automated warehouse systems using autonomous robotic technology and AI-powered software.
In simple terms, the company transforms traditional warehouses into smart distribution centers for major retailers such as Walmart, Target, and others.
The result is faster processing, higher accuracy, and lower operating costs, which could significantly reshape the supply chain industry.
Analysts expect Symbotic’s revenue to grow strongly over the coming years, supported by the broader shift toward automation in e-commerce and logistics.
The company has also reported a massive order backlog of around $22 billion, showing strong demand for its systems.
Over the past year, the stock has surged by approximately 222%. However, despite this impressive rally, it remains below its all-time highs.
Intel ($INTC) announced its quarterly results yesterday and surprised the market in a big way.
For Q1 2026, revenue, gross margin, and earnings per share all came in above the high end of the company’s guidance.
This strengthens the view that Intel’s turnaround is becoming more credible, as the company has now beaten expectations for six consecutive quarters.
According to CEO Lip-Bu Tan, demand is significantly exceeding supply across Intel’s businesses, especially in Xeon server CPUs.
The key takeaway is simple: the market needs more CPUs.
As a result, shares of Intel, AMD, and Arm moved sharply higher in pre-market trading.
Intel’s stock has gone from around $20 last year to $81 today, an incredible move. In my view, the current valuation does not make much sense at these levels, but I do believe we may hear about several new Intel deals in the short term.
