Cigna raised its full-year 2026 adjusted profit forecast after second-quarter results beat expectations. The company now expects adjusted income from operations of at least $30.45 per share, up 10 cents from its previous outlook, while analysts had estimated $30.41 per share. Second-quarter adjusted earnings rose to $7.78 per share from $7.20 a year earlier, exceeding the $7.60 consensus, and total revenue climbed 7% to $71.7 billion. Growth was driven by its Evernorth Health Services segment, where adjusted revenue rose 6% to $61.5 billion, and by a 17% increase in adjusted pre-tax income at its Cigna Healthcare insurance arm, which benefited from an improved margin in its U.S. employer business. Total medical customers reached 18.4 million at the end of June, up 2% from December 31, 2025, while total pharmacy customers fell 4% to 118.2 million.
