πŸ’Ž πŸ₯ πŸš€ Berkshire, Burry & Tepper Unleash Billion-Dollar UNH Bet: The Market’s Next $600 Giant? πŸš€ πŸ₯ πŸ’Ž

$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ $Regeneron Pharmaceuticals(REGN)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$πŸ’Ž I’m calling this the most coordinated institutional strike on a Dow component this year, with Buffett, Burry, and Tepper all betting on a V-shaped recovery from multi-year lows.

Institutional Endorsement Sparks Double-Digit After-Hours Surge

I’m leaning into UnitedHealth here because the tape just flipped from distress to endorsement; Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a new 5.04 million-share stake worth about $1.57 billion and UNH ripped roughly 12 percent after-hours to $300.50 on 14Aug25 (SEC, MarketWatch, 14Aug25). Scion Asset Management revealed $190 million in UNH call options plus $6 million in equity; Appaloosa LP lifted its stake to about 2.45 million shares; both moves were filed for Q2 2025 (Bloomberg, GuruFocus, 14Aug25). Michael Burry’s other top Q2 call option buys included Meta Platforms ($META) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals ($REGN), underscoring a broader high-conviction tilt toward both technology and healthcare leaders. Context matters: shares had been down about 46 percent YTD before this wave of high-profile buying, driven by a DOJ probe, a cyberattack, and leadership upheaval. With heavyweight investors taking decisive long positions, the market is treating this as a structural vote of confidence in the company’s recovery trajectory. Options flow reinforced it; $4.48 million in calls traded versus $636 thousand in puts, concentrated in ≀90-day contracts, as price cleared the $285–$295 band and reclaimed the $272 pivot.

Over $4.48 million in calls vs $636 thousand in puts points to aggressive bullish flow

Flows, Footprints, and the Price Structure That Changes Everything

I’m framing the next sequence around levels, flows, and who is buying; that trifecta often sustains momentum beyond the initial surge. $272 is my primary support reference; $320 is the first upside magnet, with $335 in view if liquidity persists. Institutional footprints add weight: Dodge & Cox added ~4.73 million shares, Norges Bank ~12.99 million, Berkshire at 5.04 million, Tepper at ~2.45 million, Burry with deep-in-convexity calls, and PIF positioning in the same direction (WhaleWisdom Q2 filings, 14Aug25). Burry’s concurrent positioning in $META and $REGN highlights that this healthcare bet is part of a cross-sector strategy, not an isolated trade. Technically, the 15-minute and 4-hour charts are in expansion mode with bullish EMA crosses, and Keltner channels opening to the upside. This combination of aggressive capital deployment and technical confirmation turns UNH from an oversold rebound into a structured breakout candidate.

From Oversold Rebound to Institutional Re-Rating Cycle

The setup has transitioned from reactive to proactive; it’s now a price-discovery phase driven by capital with time horizons far longer than the average trader. Sustained volume above $285 would suggest that the repositioning by Berkshire, Burry, and Tepper is not a one-day headline but the start of an extended re-rating process. Given UNH’s prior $630.73 high, a full recovery would imply near-100 percent upside from recent lows, making the $600+ target floated by bullish market participants a credible longer-term milestone. This isn’t speculative hype, it’s a probability-weighted scenario built on disclosed stakes, technical structure, and options skew.

Sharp 4 hour breakout through $272 with expanding Keltner channels

This confluence of heavyweight buying, technical momentum, and sector-level tailwinds makes UNH one of the most asymmetric setups in the current market. With price structure now in breakout alignment and deep-pocketed conviction behind it, the probability of a sustained re-rating far outweighs the downside risk. The next inflection will be whether post-catalyst demand can anchor above $285, confirming that this is not just a reactionary spike but the opening move of a multi-quarter advance.

UNH Breakout: Next Target $400?
UnitedHealth continues to jump after the health insurer reaffirmed its full-year 2025 earnings outlook. The company said it continues to expect adjusted earnings of at least $16.00 per share with revenue in the range of $445.5 billion to $448.0 billion. Wall Street currently forecasts earnings of $16.24 per share on revenue near $448.2 billion. ----------- After breaking the key resistance level of $320, is UNH hitting the short term peak? Have you jumped on the wagon with Buffett?

    Down 46% YTD, now heavyweights buy? Waiting for $285 hold to jump in.

      I see $285 as strong support, but with $UNH at $304.26 and calls outpacing puts 669k to 247k, momentum is already primed. IV in the top quartile and a $600 target make patience costly.

      Appreciate it. I’m tracking $UNH with volume triple average, skew flattening, and IV30 pointing to $7.91 expected daily swings. This setup is rare at these levels.

      Exactly. Buffett, Burry, Tepper plus heavy call flow and a 12% jump to $304.26 isn’t luck. It’s positioning ahead of a structural recovery with $600 in play.

      Thanks. My thesis ties the $304.26 breakout to institutional positioning and option market leadership. Fundamentals plus market mechanics point to sustained upside.

    Buffett putting $1.6B into UNH right as the stock hit decade-low valuations is wild conviction. Pair that with funds like Appaloosa and Lone Pine piling in and it feels like a generational anchor moment. The $300 level turning into a floor could be the real inflection point πŸ’₯
