BofA update shows where active managers are putting money
Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald has reiterated its Overweight rating on Cigna (NYSE:CI) with a price target of $365.00 following the company’s second-quarter 2025 results. The target represents significant upside potential for the $76 billion healthcare giant, which according to InvestingPro analysis is currently undervalued.
The healthcare giant reported quarterly results in line with expectations, with growth primarily driven by its Evernorth division. With impressive revenue growth of 24% over the last twelve months and an overall financial health score of "GREAT" from InvestingPro, Cigna’s lack of government exposure appears to be improving investor sentiment toward the stock.
The $365 price target represents a 2026 price-to-earnings multiple of 11.0x based on Cantor Fitzgerald’s 2026 earnings per share estimate of $33.06. This target multiple reflects a 9% discount to the historical 10-year average P/E ratio, accounting for remaining uncertainty from political factors. The stock currently trades at a P/E ratio of 16.28x and offers a dividend yield of 2.03%.
Cantor Fitzgerald identified several risks to its price target, including larger-than-expected employer give-backs based on contractual arrangements and low utilization, higher start-up costs from the CNC contract, and potential challenges in further penetrating the commercial book with Evernorth products.
Additional risk factors mentioned include the company’s ability to realize investment returns on VillageMD and other Cigna venture investments.
