For dividend-paying companies, maintaining dividend growth is an essential way to demonstrate to investors that a firm is stable and enjoys long-term profitability. Dividend growth is also attractive to investors because it means an increasing passive income stream through stock ownership. Some investors also subscribe to the belief that dividend growth is an important factor in determining a company&#39;s stock price, as in the case of the dividend discount model.
Investors seeking to capitalize on dividend growth might seek out a targeted ETF like the ProShares S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (BATS: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nobl#BATS">NOBL</a>), which tracks S&amp;P constituents that have steadily increased dividend payouts for at least 25 years.
<h2>CI: Significant Dividend Growth and Signs of Being Undervalued</h2>
The Cigna Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ci#NYSE">CI</a>) is a health services and insurance business that currently has an annualized dividend payout of $5.60. Though its dividend yield is just 1.65%, considered below ideal by many dividend investors, its dividend growth rate is sky-high. The company enjoys an annualized 3-year dividend growth rate of nearly 400%.
Beyond this significant dividend growth, CI presents a sustainable dividend payout ratio of just under 46%, meaning that its earnings comfortably cover its dividend payouts.
Analysts widely see Cigna shares as undervalued, as the company&#39;s stock has upside potential of almost 16% based on consensus price estimates. Cigna also offers stability found only among blue-chip stocks, as it has its origins in insurance companies dating back 200 hundred years.
<h2>CDW: Solid Dividend Gains Alongside Earnings History</h2>
CDW Corp.&nbsp;is an IT services company that most recently paid a quarterly dividend of 62 cents in August, about double the payout from the same time five years ago and 10 times the payout from a decade ago.
The firm has a strong history of dividend increases and an attractive dividend payout ratio of 30.96%, which should reassure investors that the company is managing its dividend payments effectively and sustainably.
Supporting the growth of CDW&#39;s dividend payments is its strong earnings history, and analysts expect that to continue based on a projected earnings growth rate of 9.0%. The company did recently report a decline in revenues amid a challenging period for the IT industry more broadly, but at the same time it has improved its gross margin to maximize its revenue potential as the industry-wide headwinds ease.
<h2>CTRA: Dividend Performance and Aggressive Buyback</h2>
Coterra Energy Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ctra#NYSE">CTRA</a>) has grown its dividend by about 26% per year for the last three years and now offers an annualized dividend of $0.84 and a fairly competitive dividend yield of 3.39%. Across the energy industry, dividend yields have tended to be strong as share prices have struggled relative to the broader market. Indeed, Coterra shares are down about 6% in the last year.
Like other energy firms, Coterra has been subjected to declining oil prices, leaving its production levels and profit margin to fluctuate. Still, Coterra has outperformed analyst expectations in operational metrics such as cash flow per share and Wall Street sees strong earnings growth of nearly 38% to come.
What helps Coterra stand out to dividend investors is its aggressive share buyback program to return capital to investors. The company completed buybacks totaling well over 100% of free cash flow in the second quarter. While this pace may not be sustainable over the long term, it nonetheless supports the view that Coterra shares are undervalued. Analysts have set an average price target of $32.24, more than 30% above current price levels.
<h2>Looking Beyond Dividend Growth</h2>
Dividend growth is just one important factor to consider when looking at dividend stocks. Investors should also watch for a company&#39;s dividend yield, a measure of how much a firm pays out in dividends relative to its stock price&mdash;a higher dividend yield may mean that the company provides a more enticing prospect for investors looking to maximize their dividend payout compared to how much they spend on a stock, but it can also mean that a company is not reinvesting its profits into its business to fuel expansion. Payout ratio&mdash;a measurement of a company&#39;s dividend relative to its income&mdash;is also revealing. Companies may pay significant dividends but have a negative payout ratio, potentially indicating losses in the latest period, which is typically unsustainable.

3 Dividend Growth Stocks Set to Supercharge Your Portfolio

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against several major insulin manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), alleging a conspiracy to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40560002/governments-suing-pharmacy-benefit-managers-over-insulin-prices-have-long-benefited-from-their-r" rel="noreferrer noopener">inflate insulin prices</a>.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-big-pharma-drug-manufacturers-and-pharmacy-benefit-managers" rel="noreferrer noopener">lawsuit</a> targets pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and PBMs, including Cigna Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) Express Scripts and CVS Health Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) CVS Pharmacy, accusing them of engaging in an unlawful scheme to raise insulin prices.

According to the lawsuit, insulin manufacturers artificially raised the prices of their drugs while paying PBMs a significant, undisclosed portion in return for preferred placement in PBM offerings.
The PBMs allegedly rewarded the manufacturers with the highest list prices by giving their products preferred status while excluding more affordable alternatives.
These insulin drugs, which cost manufacturers less than $2 to produce, were introduced in the late 1990s at $20 per vial. However, prices have now soared to between $300 and $700 per vial.
Over the past decade, some manufacturers have raised insulin prices by as much as 1,000%.
Paxton expressed outrage over the alleged scheme, stating, "This is a disturbing conspiracy by which pharmaceutical companies were intentionally and artificially inflating the price of insulin. Big Pharma insulin manufacturers and PBMs worked together to take advantage of diabetes patients and drive prices as high as they could." He vowed to hold these companies accountable for their actions.
The complaint further claims that while PBMs have publicly positioned themselves as entities working to reduce drug prices and improve treatment access, their actions tell a different story.
The lawsuit argues that the PBMs have colluded with insulin manufacturers to manipulate the market for their financial gain, all at the expense of Texas diabetics and healthcare payors.

Texas Attorney General Sues Insulin Manufacturers and Pharmacy Benefit Managers Over Price-Fixing Conspiracy That Increased Prices by 1,000%

<a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-big-pharma-drug-manufacturers-and-pharmacy-benefit-managers">https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-big-pharma-drug-manufacturers-and-pharmacy-benefit-managers</a>
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued major insulin manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers (&quot;PBMs&quot;)&mdash;including Eli Lilly, Express Scripts, CVS Pharmacy, and others&mdash;over a conspiracy to increase prices of insulin.&nbsp;
Through this conspiracy, the manufacturers artificially and willingly raised the prices of insulin then paid a significant, undisclosed portion back to the PBMs as a quid pro quo for inclusion in the PBMs&#39; standard offerings. The PBMs then granted preferred status to the manufacturer whose drug has the highest list price while excluding lower priced drugs. These synthetic insulin drugs, which today cost the manufacturers less than $2 to produce and were originally priced at $20 when released in the late 1990s, now range between $300 and $700. In the last decade alone, the manufacturers who are defendants in the lawsuit have increased the prices of their insulins up to 1,000%. Attorney General Paxton is suing because the insulin pricing scheme violates the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, constitutes unjust enrichment, and represents an unlawful civil conspiracy.
&quot;This is a disturbing conspiracy by which pharmaceutical companies were intentionally and artificially inflating the price of insulin. Big Pharma insulin manufacturers and PBMs worked together to take advantage of diabetes patients and drive prices as high as they could,&quot; said Attorney General Paxton. &quot;These companies acted illegally and unethically to enrich themselves, and we will hold them accountable.&quot;
According to the complaint, &quot;While the PBM Defendants represent that they perform their services on behalf of their clients (including Texas payors) and diabetics to lower drug prices, increase access to affordable drugs, and promote diabetic health, these representations are false. Rather, the PBM Defendants have worked in coordination with the Manufacturer Defendants to distort the market for diabetic treatments to their benefit at the expense of Texas diabetics and payors.&quot;
Liston &amp; Deas, David Nutt &amp; Associates, the Cicala Law Firm, and Foreman Watkins Krutz are serving as outside counsel.

Cantor Fitzgerald Reiterates Overweight on Cigna, Maintains $400 Price Target

CVS Health Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) is reportedly considering a major restructuring that could involve separating its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVS" rel="noreferrer noopener">retail and insurance businesses</a>.
The move comes as the healthcare services company faces investor pressure and seeks to recover from a challenging financial period.
CVS Health is trading at an EBITDA multiple of 7x, which is significantly lower than key competitors like UnitedHealth Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) and Cigna Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>), which trade at multiples of 14x and 9x, respectively.
This valuation gap underscores CVS's pressure to find a viable path forward amid growing competition and investor concerns.
These talks with financial advisers explore how a potential breakup would work, although no final decisions have been made yet.
Reuters report says the discussions, which remain confidential, include the possibility of unwinding CVS Health's $70 billion acquisition of Aetna in 2017, a deal that significantly expanded the company's insurance capabilities.
Now facing mounting difficulties in its retail and insurance sectors, CVS Health is assessing various strategies, including the potential split of its business units.
If the separation occurs, CVS Health could create two publicly traded companies, but the decision is pending approval from its board of directors.
Another point of debate is whether CVS Health's pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) should remain part of the retail division or be integrated into the insurance segment.
The final structure of any split will depend on internal deliberations, Although the Reuters report adds that CVS Health could still pursue a different approach.
As per a recent WSJ report, CVS Health is set to face renewed pressure as hedge fund&nbsp;Glenview Capital Management, led by founder&nbsp;Larry Robbins, plans to meet top executives, including CEO&nbsp;Karen Lynch, to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/41091446/cvs-health-in-focus-as-activist-investor-prepares-for-high-level-talks" rel="noreferrer noopener">discuss operational improvements</a>.
The meeting with Glenview comes as part of Robbins' broader strategy to push for change.
In the second quarter, the pharmacy chain reported adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$1.83&nbsp;decreased from&nbsp;$2.21&nbsp;in the prior year, beating the consensus of $1.73.
The fall is primarily due to a decline in the Health Care Benefits segment's operating results, which reflect continued utilization pressure and the unfavorable impact of the company's Medicare Advantage star ratings for the 2024 payment year within&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40220306/cvs-health-reports-mixed-q2-earnings-lowers-2024-outlook-reshuffles-segment-management" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Medicare product line</a>.
CVS Health revised its adjusted EPS guidance to $6.40-$6.65&nbsp;from at least&nbsp;$7.00 versus the consensus of $6.98, reflecting continued pressure in the Health Care Benefits segment.
CVS Health decided to make leadership changes based on the current performance and outlook for the Health Care Benefits segment.&nbsp;
Brian Kane&nbsp;quit, and Karen Lynch,&nbsp;the CEO, assumed direct leadership of the Health Care Benefits segment.
Karen and Tom Cowhey, CVS Health's CFO, oversee the business's day-to-day management.
Price Action: At last check Tuesday, CVS stock was up 2.21% at $64.27 during the premarket session.

The Wall Street report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/glenview-capital-plans-push-for-changes-at-cvs-5df8aa8a?mod=latest_headlines" rel="noreferrer noopener">adds</a> that CVS had heavily invested in attracting seniors to its Aetna Medicare plans, but the move backfired, squeezing margins. The company is now revising its Medicare approach for 2025 to address these issues.
CVS Health decided to make leadership changes based on the current performance and outlook for the Health Care Benefits segment.&nbsp;
Brian Kane&nbsp;quit, and Karen Lynch,&nbsp;the CEO, assumed direct leadership of the Health Care Benefits segment.
Karen and Tom Cowhey, CVS Health&#8217;s CFO, oversee the business&#8217;s day-to-day management.
Recently, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a formal complaint against three major pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)—CVS Health&#8217;s Caremark,&nbsp;Cigna Corp&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) Express Scripts, and&nbsp;UnitedHealth Group Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) Optum—for allegedly engaging in unfair and anti-competitive practices that have inflated the list&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40964870/us-federal-trade-commission-sues-cvs-health-cigna-unitedhealths-pharmacy-benefit-managers-for-infl" rel="noreferrer noopener">price of insulin medications</a>.
The FTC has also highlighted significant concerns regarding consolidating pharmacies and health insurance companies, focusing on the influence of a few dominant PBMs <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39695378/ftc-investigation-uncovers-anti-competitive-practices-by-handful-of-pharmacy-benefit-managers-includ" rel="noreferrer noopener">on prescription drug prices</a>.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 15 Years Ago, You Would Have $12,000 Today

With the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) taking a scalpel to the pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) of UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), CVS Health Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) and Cigna Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>), investors are left wondering which health giant can best <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care">weather the storm</a>.
The FTC's lawsuit, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/20/ftc-sues-drug-middlemen-for-allegedly-inflating-insulin-prices.html">targeting</a> these companies for allegedly inflating insulin prices, could have a major ripple effect across the healthcare industry—and that means stock volatility. 
So, which stock looks healthier?
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">UnitedHealth Group: Big &amp; Bold, But Under The Microscope</h1>
UnitedHealth Group&#8217;s OptumRx unit is at the heart of the FTC's lawsuit, and while UNH's sheer scale as a global leader in healthcare gives it plenty of muscle, it also makes it a big target. 
Analysts predict a modest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/UNH">2.75% price movement</a> over the next 12 months, with a price target range of $591 to $680. UnitedHealth&#8217;s size could either serve as a shield or an anchor, depending on how the FTC&#8217;s hammer falls. 
For now, it's the heavyweight champ, but will its bulk keep it from dodging regulatory punches?

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">CVS Health: Retail Resilience Or Regulation Roadblock?</h1>
CVS Health, known for its 9,000-plus pharmacy locations and its PBM business Caremark, finds itself in the crosshairs, too.
Its integration with Aetna and recent Oak Street acquisition might help it spread risk, but the complexity of its operations also means more regulatory scrutiny. 
Analysts are predicting a price movement of around 6.36%, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/CVS">12-month target of $63</a>. CVS is a diversified player, but being a jack-of-all-trades could make navigating the regulatory maze even trickier.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Cigna: Niche Focus, Bigger Moves?</h1>
Cigna, meanwhile, might just be the underdog to keep an eye on. Its PBM arm, Express Scripts, is a major player, but Cigna's more focused approach with self-funded plans and key government contracts could help it pivot more easily than its larger rivals. 
Analysts expect a more significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/CI">14.22% price movement</a> for Cigna, with a target range of $400 to $438. Cigna's smaller footprint in the broader health insurance landscape could allow it to sidestep the worst of the regulatory fallout and come out swinging.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Got The Edge?</h1>
In this health stock showdown, the winner depends on how well these companies can adapt to the FTC's increasing scrutiny. 
UnitedHealth's size gives it strength but might make it a bigger target. CVS has a diversified portfolio but faces risks from its complexity. Cigna, while smaller, seems poised for the most price movement and could be the nimblest in dealing with the regulatory headwinds. 
Investors should keep a close eye on how this legal saga unfolds — there's more drama to come!

UnitedHealth Vs. CVS Vs. Cigna: Which Health Stock Will Beat The FTC's Regulatory Heat?

On Friday, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a formal complaint against three major pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)—CVS Health Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) Caremark, Cigna Corp&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) Express Scripts, and UnitedHealth Group Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) Optum—for allegedly engaging in unfair and anti-competitive practices that have inflated the list <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39695378/ftc-investigation-uncovers-anti-competitive-practices-by-handful-of-pharmacy-benefit-managers-includ" rel="noreferrer noopener">price of insulin medications</a>.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/09/ftc-sues-prescription-drug-middlemen-artificially-inflating-insulin-drug-prices" rel="noreferrer noopener">complaint</a> accuses the PBMs of creating a system that benefits them financially by prioritizing drug rebates, forcing patients to pay higher costs for life-saving insulin. These PBMs, referred to as the Big Three, administer around 80% of prescriptions in the U.S.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/38564498/federal-trade-commission-targets-junk-patent-listings-for-diabetes-weight-loss-asthma-drugs-from-" rel="noreferrer noopener">Federal Trade Commission Targets &#8216;Junk Patent Listings&#8217; For Diabetes, Weight Loss, Asthma Drugs From Companies Like Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca</a>.
The FTC claims that the PBMs abused their market power to inflate insulin prices by promoting a rebate system with drug manufacturers.
This system led to the exclusion of lower-priced insulin from formularies, further driving up the cost for vulnerable patients.
The result is higher out-of-pocket expenses for those needing essential diabetes medication.
For example, the list price of Eli Lilly And Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Humalog rose dramatically from $21 in 1999 to over $274 in 2017.
Despite the availability of lower-priced alternatives, PBMs favored higher-priced drugs due to the lucrative rebates they provided.
The FTC is also examining the role of drug manufacturers, including Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), and Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>), in driving up insulin prices, signaling potential further action against these companies.
The rebate-driven system excluded lower-priced insulins and allowed the Big Three PBMs to keep significant revenue in the form of rebates and fees, a strategy that hurt patients while benefiting the PBMs financially.
Vulnerable patients, such as those with high deductibles or coinsurance, bore the brunt of these inflated costs, paying more for their insulin than the overall net cost to insurers.
Price Action: At last check Friday, CVS stock was down 1.61% at $57.49, UNH stock was down 0.29% at $575.39, and CI stock was up 0.07% at $357.52.

Cigna Subsidiary Express Scripts Files Lawsuit Against FTC, Demands Withdrawal Of PBM Report

Cigna's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.23% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.34 million shares sold short, which is 1.2% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.22 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Cigna Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1726166721_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cigna has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Cigna's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cigna's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.91%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

(CI) - Analyzing Cigna's Short Interest

UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) reportedly announced on Tuesday that it will remove AbbVie Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) blockbuster drug Humira from some of its preferred reimbursement lists starting January 1, 2025. The company will recommend lower-cost biosimilar versions instead.
This move is part of a larger trend in the U.S. pharmaceutical market, as health plans seek to cut costs by promoting alternatives to high-priced drugs.

Reuters highlights that Amgen Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) Amjevita, managed by its pharmacy benefits unit, Optum Rx, is among the biosimilars covered under UnitedHealth&#8217;s lists for commercial health plans.
With this decision, Optum becomes the last of the three largest U.S. pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to exclude Humira.
Cigna Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) announced last month that it would remove Humira from some of its lists in 2025, following a similar decision by CVS Health Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) Caremark unit in April.
CVS&#8217;s action led to a swift shift, with more patients transitioning to Sandoz Group AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDZNY#OTC">SDZNY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDZXF#OTC">SDZXF</a>) biosimilar version of Humira in just three weeks than in the previous 15 months combined.
Cigna plans to cover biosimilars like Boehringer Ingelheim&#8217;s Cyltezo, Simlandi from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>), and Alvotech&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALVO#NASDAQ">ALVO</a>) products, including an unbranded version of Sandoz&#8217;s Hyrimoz, as replacements for Humira.
UnitedHealth noted that patients would still have access to Humira until the FDA designates the preferred biosimilars as interchangeable with the original drug, per the report. The FDA is expected to make this designation in 2025.
Despite the growing competition, AbbVie has managed to retain a dominant share of the U.S. Humira market throughout 2023. This has been achieved through favorable negotiations with PBMs, even as biosimilar alternatives from companies like Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) entered the market.
As per a Reuters report, Humira has still managed to retain over 80% of its patients even after facing lower-priced rivals in the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/04/38468317/arthritis-patients-cignas-evernorth-to-offer-humira-biosimilar-at-no-out-of-pocket-cost" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. over the past year</a>.

<h2>Robust Growth Prospects of CI Stock</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Cigna&#39;s 2024 earnings is pegged at $28.48 per share, which indicates a 13.5% increase from the 2023 figure. The consensus mark for revenues is $239.1 billion, which implies 22.4% growth from the year-ago figure.&nbsp;
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 earnings is pegged at $31.80 per share, which implies an 11.7% improvement from the 2024 estimate. The consensus mark for revenues is $246.5 billion, implying a 3.1% rise from the 2024 estimate.
<h2>Cigna&#39;s Business Tailwinds</h2>
Cigna&#39;s performance is underscored its strong growth platforms, Evernorth and Cigna Healthcare. Evernorth is propelled by a range of specialty pharmacy services, significantly enhancing pharmacy revenues for the parent company. Pharmacy revenues saw a 31.8% year-over-year increase in the first half of 2024.&nbsp;
Conversely, Cigna Healthcare is strengthened by its sound customer base across the U.S. Healthcare business. This segment anticipates long-term average annual adjusted earnings growth in the band of 7-10%.&nbsp;
An expanding customer base leads to higher premiums, a critical revenue source for health insurers. As of June 30, 2024, Cigna served 19 million medical customers. The aging U.S. population is likely to drive continuous demand for its Medicare plans in the days ahead. In addition to premium growth, Cigna Healthcare benefits from ongoing product enhancements and new or extended partnerships with prominent healthcare systems.
Cigna strategically acquires companies to bolster its solutions and capabilities, broaden its geographical reach and reinforce its market presence. In alignment with its focus on high-growth platforms, it has divested its non-core health units. A robust cash balance and sufficient cash generation abilities allow the company to invest in business expansion and strategically allocate capital for share buybacks and dividends. Over the next five years, management anticipates cash flows of approximately $60 billion.
