This year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) has climbed approximately 5%, and several of its top-performing stocks have seen increases between 20% and 30%.
However, certain parts of the index didn’t perform exceptionally well during the initial half of 2025. Notably, two prominent stocks within the Dow Jones Industrial Average have experienced significant drops in value. These price reductions might attract savvy investors seeking opportunities.
This tech giant is struggling in 2025
For quite some time, Salesforce (CRM), a company often celebrated in the market due to its consistent high growth rates in double digits, has been experiencing a significant drop this year. Specifically, Salesforce shares have fallen by approximately a quarter of their initial worth. So, what’s happening?
For this fiscal year, Salesforce projects a revenue growth of between 7% and 8%, marking the first time in many years it’s seen a single-digit annual growth rate. Historically, its annual growth rates have been quite impressive, ranging from 20% to 30%. Some analysts are worried that Salesforce may have reached its peak and is no longer experiencing the same level of success as before. As an analyst at Bernstein Research puts it, “Our concern has always been that Salesforce operates in a mature market and that general expectations might be too optimistic.
UnitedHealth stock is down 40%
2021 has been quite challenging for UnitedHealth Group (UNH), as its shares have plummeted by approximately 40%. Over the last 3 months, the majority of this decline has taken place. Does this present an opportunity to invest in a healthcare titan at a discounted price?
This situation remains complex and evolving, as the company faces significant financial challenges. Reduced earnings predictions are a result of increased expenses and claims. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Justice is currently examining the company for alleged overcharging. It’s worth noting that the CEO stepped down in May, just after Wall Street analysts adjusted their earning forecasts.
From my perspective, the UnitedHealth Group’s stock appears attractively priced, trading at approximately 12.2 times its earnings. However, prospective investors should take a closer look and become familiar with all the intricacies involved before making any investment decisions.
