Cigna
CI NYSE Health Care Services Financials FY2016βFY2025
Cigna's revenue rose 11.2% to $274.9 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 3.4%, down from 3.8% a year earlier. It paid out $5.2 billion in dividends and buybacks. The diluted share count fell 5.2%.
About these figures. From 2020 Cigna tags its purchases of property, equipment and software with its own label, which the SEC's structured data leaves out, so capital spending and free cash flow are blank from 2020. Health insurers don't report a gross profit: their main cost is medical claims, which the SEC's structured data doesn't count as cost of revenue, so gross profit and gross margin are left blank.
