When the healthcare giant reports earnings Thursday morning, investors will be looking to see if Brian Thompson’s death and the public outcry over denials are prompting any changes at the company.

UnitedHealth Group Inc. is set to report financial results Thursday, the first time its executives will speak publicly since the insurance unit’s chief Brian Thompson was killed last month.

The murder unleashed a social media storm of patient dissatisfaction and ire over the health insurance industry's practices that raised questions about whether UnitedHealth would come under pressure to change how it operates.
