Base and Bull scenarios

Bull20%

Price target

$825.00

+171.1% from spot

Under the bull scenario, biosimilar adoption accelerates beyond management expectations, expanding specialty pharmacy margins. Commercial employer enrollment grows in Middle and Select markets, while transparent Evernorth Signature contracts scale rapidly with early adopters. Enterprise earnings compound at the upper end of management's 10-14% long-term target, driving valuation multiple expansion toward the high end of our fair value range ($825.00).

Evernorth Specialty & Care Services pre-tax income expands above 15% annually driven by rapid biosimilar uptake.
Cigna Healthcare medical care ratio remains disciplined near the favorable end of guided ranges, supported by commercial pricing power.
Share repurchases retire 2.0% of diluted shares annually, driving EPS growth of 12-14%.

Base55%

Price target

$478.08

+57.1% from spot

The base case represents the modal expected trajectory, delivering an 8.5% EPS compounding path. Consensus FY2026 EPS of $30.51 and FY2027 EPS of $33.48 are met as Evernorth specialty volume offsets retail pharmacy pricing concessions. Re-rating to mid fair value of $478.08 reflects steady execution and capital return.

Consolidated revenue grows at 4.0% to 4.5% annually across FY2026-FY2027 in line with consensus ($287.45B and $299.16B),.
Consolidated operating margin stabilizes around 3.35% to 3.55%.
Cigna Healthcare MCR tracks within full-year guidance of 83.7% to 84.7%.
Diluted share count declines 1.5% to 1.8% annually via free-cash-flow-funded buybacks.

Sensitivity: Ke × terminal growth
