Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Arthur J. Gallagher Stock In The Last 15 Years

UnitedHealth Group Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH/news">recent nosedive wasn't just a chart pattern</a> — it was a conviction breaker. 
Tom Hulick, CEO of Strategy Asset Managers, didn't wait for a rebound. He dumped the stock, citing "a deterioration in fundamentals" in exclusive insights shared with Benizinga over email.
UnitedHealth&#8217;s stock is down over 42% year-to-date, over 31% down in the past month alone.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Asset Manager Walks Away From UNH Stock</h2>
The asset manager's exit from UnitedHealth stock followed a string of gut punches for UnitedHealth: an unexpected CEO resignation, fiscal 2025 guidance withdrawal, and what Hulick called "a rare earnings miss and downward revisions to EPS." But the real red flag?
A company that always looked forward suddenly stopped doing so. "When a perennial compounder stops providing forward guidance and leadership turnover coincides with performance slippage, it's a signal to pay attention."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Storm Brewing In Medicare Advantage</h2>
And Hulick's attention is now on a storm brewing in Medicare Advantage. Once UnitedHealth's profit engine, it's now showing signs of burnout. "Rising utilization, tighter reimbursement, and structural adjustments tied to the CMS risk model transition" have created a perfect storm, Hulick said, adding that "margin compression at a scale that can't be resolved with typical cost controls" could lead to slower growth or even retrenchment.
The broader picture isn't much rosier for the managed care sector. With regulators circling and medical loss ratios climbing, Hulick says the core business model is losing its shine. "The upside appears capped relative to prior cycles," he said, noting a shift in the defensive-growth balance that "is not necessarily in favor of the incumbents."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Going Long On Science, Instead</h2>
So where is the $700 million manager putting its chips? Hulick is going long on science. "We're investing in innovation-driven segments that offer idiosyncratic upside and aren't tethered to reimbursement dynamics."
That includes early-stage biotech, gene editing, and longevity plays &#8211; plus global insurance firms like Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), which Hulick says have "demonstrated durable growth, pricing power, and operate in areas less exposed to the volatility we're seeing in U.S. health insurance."
UNH may be the canary in the managed care coal mine. While Hulick sees "rising costs, regulatory friction, and deteriorating visibility" across the sector, he singles out UnitedHealth as "uniquely exposed" given its size, complexity, and "integration challenges-especially with Optum."
The firm has exited UnitedHealth across three equity strategies but is holding onto bonds maturing in 2026 &#8211; one place where Hulick still sees strength. "The A+ rating and balance sheet strength remain intact."
But in equities, the message is clear: "The focus now is on innovation, not incumbency."

$100 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Arthur J. Gallagher's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.67% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.49 million shares sold short, which is 1.54% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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 Arthur J. Gallagher has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Arthur J. Gallagher'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.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Arthur J. Gallagher's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.51%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

U.S. stocks advanced across the board by midday Friday, with the S&amp;P 500 eyeing its ninth consecutive day of gains—poised for the longest winning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">streak since May 2024.</a>
Risk appetite remained firm, underpinned by solid corporate earnings and a stronger-than-expected April jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 177,000, beating expectations of 130,000 and easing concerns over tariff-related hiring slowdowns.
All eleven S&amp;P 500 sectors traded in positive territory, led slightly by financials over technology. Major indexes have now fully recovered from the declines sparked on April 2, when President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs across trading partners.
The Nasdaq 100 climbed to levels last seen in late March, capping a strong week for tech stocks. Among the Magnificent Seven, all were on pace to close the week higher except Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which slipped 4% as strong earnings were overshadowed by weaker sales in China.
The U.S. dollar index resumed its decline, pressured by renewed calls from President Trump for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates ahead of next week's policy meeting.
Treasury yields surged following the upbeat jobs data, with the 10-year note jumping 10 basis points to 4.31%, easing recession concerns entering the second quarter.
In commodities, oil prices fell back to $58 per barrel despite Thursday's rally on heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Gold rebounded 0.5%, set to snap a three-day losing streak, while natural gas prices jumped 4.4% to a two-week high.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 1% to $97,500, marking its fourth straight week of gains.

Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been udpated to correct the Stock Movers list.
Wall Street pushed higher in midday trading, with the S&amp;P 500 on track for its eighth consecutive gain — its longest winning streak since November 2023. The index rose about 1% to 5,560, fully recovering the losses sustained after former President Donald Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">trade tariffs on April 2.</a>
Technology stocks led the rally, with the Nasdaq 100 climbing 1.5%. Strong and resilient corporate earnings continue to fuel investor appetite for risk, helping markets shrug off recent tariff concerns.
President Trump reassured investors, stating that progress on trade negotiations is going "very well" and that the timeline for the tax bill remains on schedule.
On the economic front, data continued to paint a weaker picture. After Wednesday's disappointing first-quarter GDP report, the ISM manufacturing PMI showed factory activity contracted for the second straight month in April. Meanwhile, price pressures surged at the fastest pace since June 2022, reflecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">inflationary effects from tariffs.</a>
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) was a standout gainer, soaring 8.60% after delivering a blowout quarter that beat expectations across the board, reinforcing its leadership in cloud and AI. The stock reached its highest level since late January.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also topped estimates, with shares climbing more than 4%.
Sector-wise, technology outperformed, while health care lagged. Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) plunged over 9% after the pharmaceutical giant cut its 2025 guidance.
Crude oil erased early losses, rebounding to $58 per barrel after briefly dipping below $57. Gold slipped 2.2% to a two-week low.
The U.S. dollar strengthened to its highest level in over two weeks, bolstered by manufacturing surveys showing rising input costs tied to tariffs.
Treasury yields climbed for a second straight session, with the 10-year yield rising to 4.21%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged past the $97,000 mark, hitting its highest level in over two months.
