Why It's Important: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust remained the most-searched ticker for a second straight month. Nvidia also ranked second for a second straight month.
New to the top three in May was Palantir, which jumped from seventh place in April to third place in May. The ticker has been popular among investors and ranked in the top 10 each month this year. The third-place ranking is the top for Palantir in 2025.
Tesla fell from third to fourth place, following a fall in April from first to third place. With the highly anticipated launch of Tesla robotaxis in June, the stock could attract more attention and find its way back into the top three spots.
The list of the top 10 most-searched tickers in May included five new stocks compared to the list from April. This included Super Micro Computer jumping back into the top 10 after falling out of the top 20 in April. The stock has been popular among investors this year and saw its highest place on the list since February during the month of May.
D-Wave, a quantum computing stock, also returned to the top 10, ranking 8th in May. Hims &amp; Hers also moved back into the top 10, ranking ninth after previously being outside the top 20 in March and April and ranking 9th in February.
New to the top 10 in May that hadn't been in the top 20 any month this year were United Health and Asset Entities. United Health saw an executive transition announced and was reported to be the subject of a DOJ investigation, a claim the company later denied.
Asset Entities announced a merger and plans to become a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45550814/asset-entities-stock-has-skyrocketed-over-the-last-month-whats-going-on">holding treasury company</a>. SharpLink, which ranked 13th, also made a similar announcement but instead of investing in Bitcoin, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/05/45695750/sharplink-gaming-sbet-stock-soars-over-2600-in-a-week-on-ethereum-treasury-deal">is establishing an </a>Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) treasury.
CoreWeave, which went public on March 28, narrowly missed out on the top 10 with an 11th-place ranking for the month of May. The ranking could signal continued popularity for the cloud computing company a month after its IPO.
Advanced Micro Devices, Invesco QQQ Trust and Amazon.com were the three tickers in the 11th to 20th rankings that previously ranked in the top 20 in April, coming in at 18th, 4th and 13th, respectively.
This marked a significant fall for the Invesco QQQ Trust, which ranked fourth in March and April. This could signal less interest in the Nasdaq 100 and technology stocks during the month.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</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>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</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.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of May 30, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

To deny that healthcare giant UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) is struggling would be to categorically ignore reality. Since the start of the year, UNH stock dropped more than 41% of market value, an ignominious decline for a blue chip. At the same time, because it's such a revered name (at least prior to the controversies), investors may be tempted to buy the dip.
Presenting a deep dive into the problems impacting UNH stock would take volumes of printed literature. In a nutshell, the sector juggernaut lost nearly $140 billion of market capitalization following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45558758/as-unitedhealth-group-lost-an-unthinkable-140-billion-in-market-cap-since-april-analysts-weigh-in-on-the-path-ahead">series of awful news items</a>, including downbeat first-quarter results, CEO Andrew Witty stepping down from the helm and a potential criminal investigation by the Department of Justice.
Analysts expressed shock at the dramatic paradigm shift. "This is a stock that every growth-oriented portfolio manager in the world owned for a decade and made money on it like clockwork," said Whit Mayo from Leerink Partners. "It&#8217;s stunning. It&#8217;s unthinkable," the expert added.
Subsequently, many traders have also rushed for the exits and have largely decided to stay on the sidelines. Currently, UNH stock is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45627855/whats-going-on-with-unitedhealth-stock-today">trading below key moving averages</a> — common benchmarks to gauge market health. Further, other indicators used by technical analysts, such as the Relative Strength Indicator and the Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MACD) broadcast deflated momentum.
Still, not everything is pointed in the negative direction. Fundamentally, UnitedHealth added 700,000 new clients in the latest quarter thanks to the vertical integration of UnitedHealthcare and Optum. And while there are legitimate concerns regarding rising healthcare costs and heightened regulations, bullish investors note that UNH stock is undervalued, trading at <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/?tblci=GiBHQ5jGSz2tTIA8W0d9W_RJMHgkmUPdKPzylaI48Ac4RiCN1Vcomc3V5NGfyeiJATDviEo">12.85 times forward earnings</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buy-the-Dip Sentiments Could Potentially Boost UNH Stock</h2>
Recently, an investor wrote on the popular <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1kt8b8d/i_took_100k_from_our_house_sale_and_bought_303/?tblci=GiBHQ5jGSz2tTIA8W0d9W_RJMHgkmUPdKPzylaI48Ac4RiCN1Vcomc3V5NGfyeiJATDviEo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">r/wallstreetbets</a>&nbsp;subreddit that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45668906/americas-not-gonna-stop-getting-sick-says-investor-who-put-100k-into-unh-stock-his-wife-still-thinks-its-sitting-in-a-savings-account">bought $100,000 worth of UNH stock</a>, while deceptively telling his wife that he heeded her instructions to put the money somewhere safe. While there's a cautionary tale here regarding relational integrity, the point as it relates to UnitedHealth is this: investors historically have a tendency of buying the dip in UNH.
Social media isn't the only source for this claim. Following the implosion of UNH stock that started in April and continued into this month, insiders began loading up the truck. To be fair, insider trades aren't the end-all, be-all when it comes to investing decisions. Nevertheless, there's only one reason why insiders buy their own stock: simply, they believe that shares will move higher.
Adding to the intriguing framework is market breadth data, which is the analysis of accumulation (positive sessions) and distribution (negative sessions) patterns. Currently, UNH stock is riding a "3-7-D" sequence: three up weeks, seven down weeks, with a net negative trajectory across the 10-week period. Notably, in 68.75% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 2.09%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-932195" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/29152554/UNH-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Assuming that UNH stock closes around $297 by the end of this week, the bulls could theoretically push the price above $303 over the next week or two. Should the bulls maintain control of the market, they could drive the price toward the $308 to $310 range over the next several weeks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Aggressive But Rational Wager For UnitedHealth</h2>
Those willing to gamble on the potential near-term recovery of UnitedHealth may consider the 300/305 bull call spread expiring June 20. This transaction involves buying the $300 call and simultaneously selling the $305 call, for a net debit paid of $235 (the most that can be lost in the trade). Should UNH stock rise through the short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward is $265, or a payout of nearly 113%.
As a fair warning, the above trade is going to be tight because it ultimately comes down to how strong the response will be to the 3-7-D market breadth sequence. For those who want an extra time cushion, traders may consider the 300/305 bull spread for the July 3 expiration date. It's the same transaction but with an additional two weeks of margin.
Plus, the payout for the July 3 spread is quite high at nearly 105%. This defined-risk, defined-reward trade might be a more suitable idea than lying to a spouse about a six-figure investment.

UnitedHealth stock was down over 41% year to date when the UNH investor posted about his investment late May 22.&nbsp;
The r/wallstreetbets comment section exploded with reactions, ranging from jokes about impending divorce to harsh warnings. The top comment read, &#8220;Make sure you put something aside to pay for your divorce lawyer,&#8221; to which OP replied, &#8220;I still have the $20K… it's either for the lawyer or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/options-trading-strategies">call options</a>.&#8221;
Another comment read, &#8220;You don't need a lawyer if there's nothing left to fight over,&#8221; while another person remarked, &#8220;This is the f&#x2A;&#x2A;ing sh&#x2A;t I signed up for,&#8221; reflecting the subreddit's mix of chaos, comedy, and high-risk investing.

Critics, though, pointed to the serious implications. &#8220;If a financial decision needs to be hidden from your <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37879066/kevin-oleary-warns-couples-maintain-your-own-financial-identity-but-indiana-university-study-say">significant other</a>, that&#8217;s usually a good indication that it&#8217;s dumb,&#8221; one comment noted. Another added, &#8220;That's financial infidelity. Your marriage is done.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inside the UNH Crisis</h2>
Meanwhile, UnitedHealth has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45558758/as-unitedhealth-group-lost-an-unthinkable-140-billion-in-market-cap-since-april-analysts-weigh-in-on-the-path-ahead">had a rough stretch</a>. The company missed earnings expectations last quarter and is under pressure from several fronts. It abruptly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">replaced its CEO</a>, Andrew Witty, with former CEO Stephen Hemsley.

According to <a href="https://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/731766.htm">filings</a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission, board members Timothy Flynn, Kristen Gil and John Noseworthy purchased shares worth $49,786, $1,003,329 and $93,647, respectively.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mixed Sentiment From Investors</h2>
Despite all this, some investors see a long-term opportunity. One commenter argued, &#8220;UNH is too big to fail. The stock will go back up over the next couple years.&#8221;
Others are more skeptical. Investment YouTuber Jeremy Lefebvre called the stock &#8220;straight trash&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/HolySmokas/status/1923806928951775450">on X</a>, comparing it to Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and warning that UnitedHealth is entering a long stretch of regulatory trouble and bad press.
However, the original poster seems to agree with the bulls, doubling down with: &#8220;I'm not finished. Let's see how the stock moves. I will keep you posted.&#8221;

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of May 28, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Shares of UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) are trading lower Tuesday as the company faces intensifying scrutiny from both <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45615941/unitedhealth-group-incorporated-nyse-unh-shareholder-alert-bernstein-liebhard-llp-reminds-unitedhe">regulators and investors</a>.
What To Know: The company's stock has dropped 42% year-to-date and 30% in just the past month, reflecting deep technical weakness and growing investor unease.
UnitedHealth is trading well below all major moving averages, including the 20-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages. The stock sits far below its 200-day SMA of $526.44, as well as its 50-day SMA of $446.43. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 26.75, a clear oversold signal, while the MACD has plunged to negative 45.29, pointing to continued downside momentum.
Investor positioning is mixed. Citadel Advisors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45624067/unitedhealth-hits-2008-era-oversold-levels-as-citadel-advisors-sells-fisher-buys">significantly reduced</a> its position in the first quarter, cutting more than 800,000 shares and trimming its stake by over 50%. In contrast, Fisher Asset Management took the opposite side of the trade, increasing its position by nearly 53% with a 1.82 million share purchase. This split among institutional investors highlights growing uncertainty about UnitedHealth's outlook.
As previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45583283/hold-my-beer-wallstreetbets-redditor-says-he-dropped-100k-into-unitedhealth-after-selling-his-house-without-telling-his-wife-till-death-do-us-part">reported by Benzinga</a>, some users on Reddit&#8217;s WallStreetBets have started placing big bets on the stock, anticipating a bounce following the steep sell-off. UnitedHealth has been trending on various social platforms and was among the most mentioned stocks on the subreddit again on Tuesday.
UnitedHealth added 700,000 new clients in the latest quarter as the company benefits from its vertically integrated structure combining UnitedHealthcare and Optum. Despite concerns about rising medical costs and regulatory scrutiny, bulls argue the stock is undervalued, trading at 12.85 times forward earnings, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The current setup has triggered debate: some see UnitedHealth as a broken chart with regulatory risk, while others see a long-term opportunity in an oversold, underappreciated healthcare giant.
UnitedHealth is the biggest loser in the Dow Jones on Tuesday and one of only two names in the index currently trading lower. Meanwhile, the S&amp;P 500 was last up about 2% for the session. 
UNH Price Action: UnitedHealth shares were down 1.23% at $291.98 at the time of publication, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

10 Health Care Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) is officially in the technical doghouse. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH/news">The healthcare titan</a> just plunged to its most oversold level on both the weekly and monthly charts since the 2008 financial crisis, according <a href="https://x.com/Barchart/status/1927190527713096059">to</a> Barchart. 
The stock has cratered 42% year-to-date, and a staggering 30% in just the past month—leaving even the most hardened bulls shell-shocked.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UNH Stock Breaks Down Technically</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0527"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="631" height="486" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/27114430/Screenshot-2025-05-27-at-9.14.16-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-928682" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/27114430/Screenshot-2025-05-27-at-9.14.16-PM.png 631w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/27114430/Screenshot-2025-05-27-at-9.14.16-PM-300x231.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></figure>

From a technical standpoint, the damage is widespread. UNH stock is trading well below its eight-day, 20-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMA), sending a firm bearish signal. UNH stock, at $293.58, is a far cry from its 200-day SMA of $526.44, 50-day SMA of $446.43, and even its short-term 20-day SMA of $348.43. Its eight-day simple moving average is also above current levels, adding insult to injury.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at a rock-bottom 26.75—firmly in oversold territory—while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has sunk to a negative 45.29, both underscoring the severity of the downtrend.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Money Split: Griffin Sells, Fisher Buys</h2>
But the market isn't speaking in one voice. Hedge fund titans are divided. Citadel Advisors slashed its stake in UnitedHealth by over 50% in the first quarter, unloading nearly 800,000 shares. Meanwhile, Ken Fisher of Fisher Asset Management saw a buying opportunity, scooping up 1.82 million shares and increasing his position by nearly 53%.
Under the hood, UnitedHealth remains a healthcare juggernaut. Its vertically integrated model—uniting insurance through UnitedHealthcare and services via Optum—gives it unique operating leverage. Even in the latest quarter, it added a record 700,000 new clients. 
Despite mounting concerns over medical costs and compliance issues, bulls argue the fundamentals are intact and the valuation—12.8 times forward earnings, per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0527">Benzinga Pro data</a>—is too good to ignore.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Oversold, Undervalued, Or Uninvestable?</h2>
In other words, while the charts flash red, some see green shoots. With oversold signals not seen in 16 years, UnitedHealth might be setting up for a classic contrarian rebound—assuming it can patch up its fundamentals and shake off the regulatory cloud.
