UnitedHealth Group (UNH) 10-K Red Flags
Risk signals extracted deterministically from UnitedHealth Group’s SEC 10-K/10-Q XBRL filings — no LLM, every finding cites the underlying data.
Detected red flags (14)
- Inventory buildup exceeds sales growth: Inventory grew +35.7% vs revenue +14.6%. Excess inventory may signal weakening demand, potential write-downs, or supply chain overcommitment. Watch gross margin for discounting impact.
- Material weakness in internal controls: The term "material weakness" appears in 23 recent filing(s) (vs 2 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
- NEW: Restatement of financial statements in latest filing: The term "restate" "financial statements" appears in recent 10-K/10-Q filings but was NOT present in the prior 24-month period. This is a new risk disclosure that warrants attention. Found in 9 filing(s).
- Operating cash flow exceeds net income: OCF is 1.30x net income, indicating high earnings quality — cash conversion is strong and accruals are not inflating reported profits.
- Goodwill is 35% of total assets: Goodwill of $110.51B represents a large share of the balance sheet. If acquired businesses underperform, a non-cash impairment charge could materially impact earnings. Monitor segment performance and acquisition integration metrics.
- NEW: Impairment charge: Impairment charge appears in recent filings but not in the prior 24-month period. Monitor for materiality.
- Endogenous analysis: 3 risk signal(s) detected versus 1 positive signal(s). The balance of evidence suggests elevated filing-specific risk that warrants monitoring in subsequent filings.
