Does anybody know what advantage is to the company by changing the stock ticker from PSX to PTC?

Another. Another. New. Low.

The health insurance business is a mess, and no health-insurance company is a bigger mess than UnitedHealth Group
UNH

• 1.61%
  . But with its shares down 17% this week, much of that mess may now be reflected in the stock price.

The bad news started on Monday, when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, proposed that the net price increase for Medical Advantage insurance premiums should be 0.09% in 2027, well below the 5% many had expected. That would be a big hit to future.
This is what peoples health has been reduced to. A bunch of Wall Street brokers who circle in anticipation of how much money they can extract from federal and state programs, unsuspecting employers etc.

I believe that the SAP stock will only rebound when Julia White returns as CMO.

This shake up may require more re-trends to return to SAP in order to right the ship.

Our sales #’s have been great - why don't the analysts get it?

I mean, our results figures were really not that bad. What gives?

So today a new form was published via the SEC, that explains that every shareholder would get 1 x Warrant pr. 2 x shares they hold on the 9th of Feb.

One warrant allows the holder to purchase 1 x Xerox share for $8 within the next two years.

This part I understand, meaning they are only valuable in this form should our stock increase with 400% over the next 2 years.

The last part is where I’m not sure:
The warrants may be exercised for cash at any time prior to expiration.

What does that mean?

Humana stock is almost to covid levels. UHC rebounding today but Humana continues to fall off of Med. Adv. rates.

Is it expected for the stock price to continue to drop as more and more Medicaid membership is lost due to deportations and enhanced scrutiny for fraud?

It's going to get worse in 2026 with UHC leading the way. Expect more outsourcing and RIFs

The company announced a 20% dividend increase and a new $6 billion stock buyback program.

Someone ran a piece a few days ago about Chinese automaker BYD raising $5 billion to expand all over the place. New factories, new dealerships, very aggressive moves to increase global market share.

General Motors has even bigger plans - a giant new Stock Buyback and Shareholder Dividend Flimflam! Yay! USA! USA! USA!

Expect a weak earnings print and disappointing bonuses. The setup is already clear.

Revenue growth is barely positive and EPS is expected to decline year over year. Legacy segments continue to drag results while growth areas aren’t scaling fast enough to offset it. Meanwhile, the balance sheet is still weighed down by massive debt, limiting flexibility and magnifying every misstep.

Billions have been spent on buybacks at higher prices, yet the stock continues to underperform peers and the broader market. That’s textbook value destruction, capital out the door with nothing to show for it. Analysts have responded by trimming expectations, not raising them.

On the cost side, operating expenses are creeping higher while productivity gains remain elusive. Decisions that add friction instead of efficiency show up quietly in margins and execution, even if they’re never called out directly.

Bonuses follow the numbers. Flat growth, declining EPS, weak stock performance, and constrained free cash flow don’t justify upside payouts. At best, expect tight targets. At worst, expect “discipline.”

New CEO sold aerospace to raise stock price. CEO then must not have been able to forecast revenue growth after and decided to cost cut in hopes to retain momentum on stock.

Admittedly, I don’t know much about the stock market or these RSUs. But whenever I log onto the Fidelity app, it shows there’s 6 RSUs to my credit. I thought it was 10 given to us back in 2023. Can someone explain without being a pr--k?

Classy AF move.

You're not powerless. You can certainly fight back.

The whole point of the layoffs are to keep the already struggling Cigna stock value up. The goal of this is to please investors and because the CEO, David Cordani, is payed mostly in stocks (no really, look it up on the SEC website).

If you are an employee you might have a 401k. A 401k is a collection of stocks used for retirement. Your 401k likely has at least one fund invested mostly in Cigna stock. When you are layed off, or maybe even before, transfer those Cigna funds to something else/better. Your retirement account will be better invested and you have undone any stock benefit of them laying you off.

All these mass layoffs is perhaps to fund Stock buyback.

Biggest computing demand in the history of the world.

Many on this blog are going to dislike this post. But VK is absolutely crushing it at Davos this year. The stock is rallying and the strategic decisions he is leading are poising us for a step change in growth. Bravo this is fantastic to watch on CNBC.

Exceptional leadership in a time of great uncertainty. You haven’t wavered on the core principles that Centene emphasizes. I, for one, appreciate that. Too many haters on here. I am glad we have you and wouldn’t want to work under anyone else. The stock returns over the last 6 months aren’t bad either!

that massive layoffs are coming soon. Before the next earnings date of 3/9

New thread to include but not limited to...
Financial (Market cap, earnings, debt load, %of short interest float, and of course, stock, stock, stock and more stonk!)
Various xerox initiatives that have led to past, present and future(?) demise (Product: 3D metal printers, Drupa 2008, Java UI?) Smooth movery of Fuji M00NING, Lean 6ix Sigma, HP, Lexmark debt deal sans ADF Roller assembly part numbers...)
Really too much more to list but will make another thread for, “Bottomless Word Salad via Leader Beanery.”

Another. New. Low.

With Mike Wirth having sold off around $80,000,000.00 (public information/verifiable online) of Chevron Stock within the last three months...how many of us believe it is a smart move to wait for the next axe to fall? When our own CEO has lost faith in this company it's clearly time to start looking to get out before there's a logjam at the gates.

So they decided to print more shares. It's down ~12% pre market as of 8:50 EST.

WOW. There is never a good time to do something this stupid, but a week before earnings. This is super desperate.

In my area, we’ve received some stock through various schemes over the last couple of years. Is there any word on the plans for this year, especially given the recent nosedive?

It’s dropped 14% in the last week.

Been hearing that stock together is going to be nixed going forward

I’m debating whether to sell my UNH stock now or wait until after the earnings report. If it’s going to tank next week, I’d rather sell it now and be done with it.

Looking through my team tonight, it appears that we are nearly fully funded. Merit is 2.5-3.0% and bonuses at 100%. Stock seemed a bit lower, but not too crazy.

Where will it stop? The question becomes do you jump from the sinking ship or wait for a package? After more than 10 years in facilities it’s just a matter of time. We are still overstaffed- really don’t need the middle management level. The director Bruce could just oversee the outsource group.

Down 10% last two days and looks like it's going further south. Something must have leaked

Former (as of 10 AM today) GAE - just wondering how many lost their jobs today. Serious questions need to be asked how the allegedly Best Network with Industry Leading 2025 quarterly results has dropped its stock price from $270 to $183 in 9 mo's. Good luck to all, I'm lucky & will retire as the package bridges me to age 65 & Medicare with good savings over 30 yrs at Vz. Such a shame and so far from the celebration of Q3 results - I guess $85B in '25, up from $81B in '24 and $78B in '23 just isnt enough??!!

I am really happy today and grateful for being in this place at the right time. I have hit the 1 million dollar net worth because of the stock surge as a Staff Engineer with 5 years of experience.

Dan the SippingMan can't keep the stock up above 40; he's gonna be leaving millions on the table unless the rest of us help him out.
$39.37 today's close, down 1.15%

Guys, HP stock is at a 52 week low. Lets make another run for them. Maybe Dell. If we are going to go down, lets go down big.

Is the company profitable? The stock seemed to tank and not go up at all.
