In a report released today, Erin Wright from Morgan Stanley maintained a Buy rating on Cigna (CI – Research Report), with a price target of $390.00.
Erin Wright has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Cigna’s strategic positioning and potential for growth. Cigna’s management has introduced innovative solutions like EnCircleRx, ReachRx, and EnGuide, which are expected to enhance their service offerings in the GLP-1 space. These initiatives are designed to support pharmacies and provide specialized services, which could lead to improved patient outcomes and cost efficiencies.
Additionally, Cigna’s management has demonstrated a proactive approach by opposing legislation in Arkansas that could negatively impact patient access and costs. The company’s financial performance also supports the Buy rating, with a recent earnings per share guidance increase reflecting confidence in their business trajectory. Despite some pressures, Cigna’s medical loss ratio beat consensus expectations, indicating effective cost management and operational resilience.
In another report released yesterday, TD Cowen also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $386.00 price target.
