The largest U.S. health insurer said Wednesday that its board authorized a quarterly payout of 21.25 cents per share on June 22. That’s up from a previous dividend of 16.25 cents per share.
UnitedHealth reported net income of $1.39 billion, or $1.31 per share, on $27.28 billion in revenue in the first quarter. Medical enrollment almost climbed 3 percent to 35.6 million people, which helped balance price hikes from care providers that drove up the payor’s costs.
