News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Karen Moscow and we want to begin with plenty of breaking earnings news. Boeing generated cash for a second straight quarter and reported a 57% bump in sales during the final three months of 2025. It comes as the U.S. planemaker continues its recovery and benefits from surging orders. And Boeing shares, they were higher initially. They're now down about two-tenths of a percent. UnitedHealth Group shares are falling down about 16.5 percent this morning. The company forecast a decline in 2026 revenue, the first annual contraction in more than three decades. UnitedHealth is working to rebuild confidence with investors after a stunning fall last year. Begin more with Bloomberg's Dan Curtis.
This comes after yesterday where all the insurers got clobbered in post-market after the U.S. proposed holding payment rates for private Medicare basically flat. This is a crucial rate that analysts were expecting to see rise up to 6% for this year. So basically that means that for certain – for premiums for private Medicare plans are going to be held flat the amount of money the company gets in, and that's amid rising costs. So that's really weighing down the whole industry.
And that's Bloomberg's Dan Curtis reporting. CVS Health is down almost 13% this morning. General Motors says it expects profit to grow as much as $2 billion this year and plans to return more of that to shareholders with a higher dividend and buybacks. Its shares are up 4.5%. UPS forecasts full-year sales that beat Wall Street expectations as it forges ahead with plans to cut less profitable package volume out of its network. Its shares are higher, up more than 3%. JetBlue Airways reported a wider loss than expected last quarter. It's highlighting challenges in its strategy to win over higher paying customers. And American Airlines reported fourth quarter results that missed analyst estimates. The company said the winter storm that raged across the U.S.
this weekend will clip revenue in the current period. And it comes as more airlines are cutting flights today because of the weather. So far, more than 1,500 flights have been canceled according to FlightAware. That for today. The National Weather Service is warned of another potential significant winter storm later this week. We turn to Minnesota now, and President Trump is signaling a strategy shift after an uproar over the deaths of two U.S. citizens in the immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis. The president is sending his border czar, Tom Homan, to oversee the operation. The current face of the enforcement, Greg Bovino, is expected to leave as soon as today.
