The Cigna Corp

The Cigna Corp

Cigna Corporation (CI) is a large, US‑based health‑care and services company combining traditional health insurance with pharmacy and care‑management services through its Evernorth business. Its revenue mix includes employer and individual medical plans, Medicare products, and pharmacy benefit management and care solutions. Investors typically watch member trends, medical cost inflation, price negotiations with providers and drug‑pricing dynamics β€” all of which can move margins and earnings. Cigna’s business is sensitive to regulation, reimbursement changes and economic cycles that affect employer-sponsored coverage. With a market capitalisation of about $82.08 billion, it’s considered a major industry participant, but not immune to competition from insurers, PBMs and new entrants. This summary is general educational information, not personalised financial advice. Investors should consider their own circumstances, risk tolerance and seek regulated advice if needed; values can fall as well as rise and past performance is not a guide to future results.
