Raymond James upgraded UnitedHealth Group to Outperform from Market Perform with a $330 price target, citing greater expense upside than Wall Street expects. The firm highlighted margin expansion potential at Optum Health and conservative 2026 guidance that provides room for earnings growth. UnitedHealth shares have fallen 47% over the past year to around $272, creating what Raymond James views as a contrarian entry point. The company is exiting unprofitable contracts, reducing membership by 2.3 to 2.8 million people, and guiding towards $24 billion in operating earnings with a 5.5% operating margin in 2026, up from $18.96 billion in 2025. The upgrade centres on Optum Health's restructuring, with management projecting 9% operating earnings growth and 30 basis points of margin expansion in 2026.

Raymond James names new indie division boss. March 19, 2026 Kirk Bell, who will take over as president of Raymond James' Independent Contractor Division effective April 1. Raymond James Financial elevated one of its divisional leaders, Kirk Bell, to be president of its Independent Contractor Division effective April 1, according to an announcement on Wednesday. Bell, who had been central divisional director based at Raymond James' St. Petersburg, Florida headquarters, fills a role left vacant by Shannon Reid, who left in December to join competitor Osaic Wealth. "I look forward to drawing on decades of experience and best practices as I meet advisors and their staff across the country, partner with the firm's strong leadership teams and work with ICD associates to build on our momentum and continue to be the destination of choice for financial advisors," Bell said in a statement. Bell had held responsibility for 12 states with approximately 265 so-called offices of supervisory jurisdiction and more than 600 financial advisors, according to his LinkedIn profile. The announcement did not identify a successor for his role as one of four divisional managers at the independent channel. Bell has spent his entire 26-year career except seven rookie months with Raymond James, according to BrokerCheck. He did not respond to a request for comment sent through social media. David Sisemore, who had led the ICD unit on an interim basis, will resume a Midwest divisional leadership role through the firm's fiscal year-end in late September, and then retire in December, according to the announcement. Raymond James reported in September that it had 8,943 advisors, most of whom are independent contractors, and has also been focused on growing its RIA custody division. Those growth efforts have included aggressively recruiting independent brokers, particularly from Commonwealth Financial Network, which was acquired by LPL Financial in August. It in the last three months of 2025 paid $107 million in recruiting and retention costs, a 22% increase from the prior year. Raymond James independent brokerage unit on Wednesday also said it added a five-advisor team managing about $385 million in client assets from LPL Financial. The group, which operates as SBS Financial in Moline, Illinois, includes J. Steven Bush, Shane Swift, James Schmertmann, Brett Johnson and Eric VanWinkle, along with three support staff.
Raymond James has appointed Kirk Bell as president of its independent contractor division, effective 1st April. Bell succeeds Shannon Reid, who departed after nearly 20 years to join Osaic. Bell has spent almost 26 years at Raymond James, most recently serving 12 years as senior vice president and division director for the central US. He will lead Raymond James Financial Services and join the firm's senior leadership team. The appointment follows increased recruiting activity, with the firm raising recruitment and retention compensation by 22% in its fiscal first quarter. Raymond James' private client division had 8,943 advisers as of 30th September 2025, overseeing $1.67 trillion in client assets. The firm recently attracted advisers from LPL Financial's Commonwealth, including a Massachusetts team managing $682 million.
