Cigna Group's Q2 Earnings Fail to Impress, Shares Plummet 10%

Cigna Group's Q2 earnings were flat at $1.5 billion, despite an 11% increase in total revenues to $67.18 billion. The stock fell 10.23% to $267.38 due to disappointing investor sentiment. Chairman and CEO David Cordani attributed the performance to disciplined execution and the strength of the company's business mix.

The Cigna Group reported a net income of $1.5 billion for the second quarter of 2025, a figure that remained stable compared to the same period last year. Despite this, the company experienced an 11% increase in total revenues, reaching $67.2 billion. This growth was primarily driven by Evernorth Health Services and strong specialty pharmacy growth [2].

Chairman and CEO David M. Cordani attributed the performance to disciplined execution and the strength of the company's business mix. He stated, "Listening, adapting, and innovating to meet the evolving needs of our patients, customers, and clients enables us to deliver meaningful value" [1].

However, the stock fell by 10.23% to $267.38, reflecting disappointing investor sentiment. The company's adjusted income from operations increased by 1% to $1.9 billion, or $7.20 per share [2].

The second-quarter total revenue reached $67.2 billion, up from $60.5 billion a year earlier. Adjusted revenue, excluding certain investment-related items, was $67.1 billion for the quarter. For the first half of 2025, Cigna reported $132.6 billion in adjusted revenue [1].

Cigna reaffirmed its expected medical care ratio for the year, ranging between 83.2% and 84.2%. The company also updated its outlook for the full year, projecting at least $29.60 in adjusted income from operations per share [1].
