The stock market experienced significant fluctuations today, with UnitedHealth’s shares tumbling after earnings fell short due to Medicare issues. This downturn contributed to a slide in the Dow by 500 points, marking one of the worst days for UnitedHealth in 17 years. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq saw some recovery after a sharp sell-off. Other notable movers included Nvidia, TSMC, Lilly, Amex, D.R. Horton, Schwab, Netflix, and Hertz. These developments highlight the ongoing volatility in the market as companies report their earnings.
