How should one interpret UNH stock?

If there are a handful of companies to invest in stock wise I would put UNH on that list because they are just so profitable and have over time proven to be a diligent company. When a US citizen thinks of a health insurance company United Healthcare comes to mind before others. Piper Sandler said UNH can rally recently (https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/26/this-health-insurance-behemoth-can-rally-more-than-20percent-says-piper-sandler.html). I believe UNH can rally big in the coming 2 years - and will possibly be better than investing in your typical ETF simply because small cap will hurt in the coming pseudo-recession. I say pseudo-recession because it will be hard to have a typical recession when there is still approx. 2 jobs for every 1 person. I know I am all over the place with this post but we will continue to have YOY 4% to 6% inflation for the next several years... Unless the Fed hikes 50 basis points literally monthly which they will not do. One more reason to love mega cap stocks like UNH. I feel like my vision is somewhat clouded because all I see is positive for UNH including the fact they have a lower than most PE ratio of 21.95 (unheard of these days - Eli Lilly for example is a pharmaceutical company and has a PE of 67.83). I should ask while I am on here it is just normal for health insurance companies to have lower PE? It appears Anthem and Humana also have low PE.
