The IRS move focuses on transfer pricing and could significantly raise UnitedHealth Group's taxable income if the proposed changes are ultimately applied. UnitedHealth has said it plans to contest the proposed adjustments, keeping the timing and final financial impact uncertain for now. The company has a market cap of about $345.4b and a current profit margin of 3.1%, down from 5% last year.
