The same transmission channels that drive UnitedHealth (UNH) higher operate in reverse when conditions flip.

Where does consensus see UnitedHealth (UNH) heading?▾

Rather than publish a point target that goes stale the day after release, Convex assembles consensus from the macro regime classification, active scenario probabilities, and historical base rates. Point forecasts from banks and strategists are worth reading for context, but they typically cluster around the consensus and miss the tail events that actually move markets. The scenario-weighted approach here captures that tail risk explicitly.
