Piper Sandler raises its target
According to Markets Insider on October 2, 2026, analyst Jessica Tassan lifted Piper Sandler's target to USD 370.00 from USD 346.00 and retained the Overweight rating. The report also cited Cigna's long-term adjusted EPS growth target of 10 percent to 14 percent through 2030.
The target change followed Cigna's September 30 Investor Day. A filing summary published by MetaTrader states that the company reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of at least USD 30.45 and set a medical care ratio range of 83.7 percent to 84.7 percent.
Q2 revenue reaches USD 71.668 billion
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Cigna reported total revenue of USD 71.668 billion and diluted GAAP EPS of USD 6.29, according to NadirAlpha. The same Q2 update reported adjusted income from operations of USD 2.1 billion and adjusted EPS of USD 7.78, up from USD 7.20 in Q2 2025.
The reported figures put the strategic targets in a measurable frame. Cigna's 2026 adjusted EPS floor of USD 30.45 is 3.9 times the Q2 adjusted EPS of USD 7.78, although the annual guidance and quarterly figure use different time horizons.
