About: Cigna primarily provides pharmacy benefit management and health insurance services. Its PBM and specialty pharmacy services, which were greatly expanded by its 2018 merger with Express Scripts, are mostly sold to health insurance plans and employers. Its largest PBM contract is with the Department of Defense (current contract through 2029), and it recently won a multiyear deal with top-tier insurer Centene. In health insurance and other benefits, Cigna primarily serves employers through self-funding arrangements, and the company operates mostly in the US with 17 million US and 2 million international medical members covered as of December 2024.

Cigna: Market Pessimism Creates Value Opportunity
Cigna's stock drop after Q2 2025 is overdone; shares now trade at a 15% discount to their 5-year average, creating a compelling entry point. Despite mixed Q2 results and lower profit growth forecasts, my DCF model supports a fair value of $315 per share, implying 8.5% upside. Aggressive share buybacks and steady dividend growth enhance shareholder returns, while Cigna maintains strong cash flows and manageable debt.

Cigna: Looks More Interesting Here Than UnitedHealth Group
Cigna offers a lower-risk profile after selling its Medicare business, avoiding Medicare headwinds impacting peers like UnitedHealth Group. However, the stock price has fallen alongside UNH. Recent earnings were strong, guidance was affirmed, and valuation is attractive, with Wall Street seeing up to 35% upside potential. Risks remain from medical inflation and PBM regulatory scrutiny, but Cigna's business mix provides more pricing power and operational flexibility than UNH.
