On this episode of Stock Movers:
- UnitedHealth Group (UNH) Humana (HUM) and other insurers that provide private Medicare Advantage plans for older Americans rose after the US agreed to boost 2027 payments by 2.48%, more than its initial proposal and a respite for an industry squeezed by federal cost-cutting efforts. Industry leader UnitedHealth’s stock jumped as much as 10%, the most intraday since August. Humana advanced as much as 11%, while CVS Health Corp. gained as much as 6.9%.

- Shares of Paramount Skydance (PSKY) climb as much as 13%, the most intraday since Feb. 27, after the entertainment company said it has entered into equity syndication agreements with Gulf funds to support its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

- Delta Air Lines on Wednesday is slated to be the first US airline to report quarterly earnings since the war in Iran led jet fuel costs to spike, a potential threat to strong demand and bookings. Some analysts expect Delta to recapture earnings growth in 2026 given the Atlanta-based carrier has so far shown more resilience than peers in the face of higher fuels costs. Shares fell 1.7%
