The Cigna Group reported strong second-quarter results for 2026 with total revenues rising 7% to $71.7 billion, driven by growth in both Evernorth Health Services and Cigna Healthcare. Shareholders' net income reached $1.7 billion or $6.29 per share compared to the prior year's $5.71 per share. Adjusted income from operations was $2.1 billion or $7.78 per share, up 6% year-over-year. Cigna also raised its full-year outlook for adjusted income from operations to at least $30.45 per share. The company improved operating efficiency with a lower SG&A expense ratio of 4.8%, down from 5.1% in the prior year quarter. Additionally, Cigna repurchased approximately 0.9 million shares worth around $250 million through July 29. Total customer relationships stood at 182.8 million as of June 30, a slight decline compared to December's figure due primarily to reduced pharmacy customers.
