<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) is reportedly weighing multiple offers for its Latin American business as it scrambles to recover from a string of corporate stumbles, including a leadership shakeup and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported federal investigation</a>.
The potential sale, involving its Banmedica unit, comes as the company seeks to restore shareholder confidence and streamline operations under new leadership.
In May, UnitedHealth's CEO, Andrew Witty,&nbsp;resigned for personal reasons.&nbsp;Stephen Hemsley, who previously held the CEO title from 2006 to 2017,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">succeeded him</a>.

After reporting weaker-than-expected earnings and facing allegations of Medicare fraud—currently not formally acknowledged by the Department of Justice—UnitedHealth is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45775858/unitedhealth-board-reelects-directors-hikes-dividend-as-ceo-pledges-review-of-medicare-practices" rel="noreferrer noopener">shifting its focus</a>.
Reuters notes that the insurance giant has been working to exit Latin America since 2022, but recent developments have heightened the urgency of its plans.
UnitedHealth's aggressive growth strategy under Witty exposed the healthcare giant to mounting regulatory scrutiny, soaring costs, and a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">shifting Medicare landscape</a>.
Hemsley is stepping forward to acknowledge the fallout and chart a new course, promising a comprehensive review of some of the company's most controversial practices.
Citing individuals familiar with the matter, Reuters reported UnitedHealth had received four non-binding bids for Banmedica, which operates in Colombia and Chile. The bids reportedly value the business at approximately $1 billion.
Interested parties include Acon Investments, Patria Investments, Christus Health, and Auna, with the latter exploring a financial partnership to support its offer.
The company aims to set a July deadline for binding proposals for Banmedica, which generates more than $200 million in annual EBITDA.
Banmedica <a target="_blank" href="https://www.financierworldwide.com/fw-news/2018/1/2/unitedhealth-to-acquire-banmdica" rel="noreferrer noopener">was</a> acquired in 2018 as part of UnitedHealth's plan to expand across South America. Then, CEO David Wichmann touted the deal as a foundation for growth for decades. However, financial challenges led the company to reverse.
UnitedHealth previously exited Brazil in late 2023 and Peru earlier this year.
UnitedHealth recorded an $8.3 billion loss tied to its South American operations—$7.1 billion from Brazil and $1.2 billion from Banmedica.
Though Banmedica remains profitable, with over 2.1 million insurance members and about 4 million patient visits annually across its 13 hospitals and 143 medical centers, UnitedHealth now views it as too small to align with its long-term strategic goals.

'Medicare Surfaces as Target for Cuts to Pay for Trump Tax Bill' -Bloomberg

UnitedHealth Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) short percent of float has risen 25.51% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 11.11 million shares sold short, which is 1.23% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for UnitedHealth Group has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing UnitedHealth Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
