Shares of health insurance stocks are trading lower in sympathy with UnitedHealth, which reported worse-than-expected Q1 results and cut its FY25 adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.

Cigna Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.73% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.43 million shares sold short, which is 1.67% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.24 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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 Group Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744732824_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cigna Group 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 Group'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cigna Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.75%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

WSJ: 'Medicare Advantage plans will get a 5.06% rate increase, well above the 2.23% bump that the Biden administration proposed'

In September, 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 href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price of insulin medications</a>.
The&nbsp;complaint&nbsp;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 <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">prescriptions in the U.S</a>.
The FTC is now pausing after the agency submitted <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/d9437_2025.04.01_commorderstayingadjudication.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an order</a> seeking an administrative stay in the case.

The agency does not cite any sitting commissioners who can join the proceedings. The two sitting commissioners, Republicans Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41172976/texas-attorney-general-sues-insulin-manufacturers-and-pharmacy-benefit-managers-over-price-fixing-co" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have recused themselves</a>.
According to the order filed this week, the stay will remain in place for at least 105 days. The courts also set an evidentiary hearing for 225 days after the stay lifts.
Reuters notes that of its five sitting commissioners, two were fired, two were removed from the case, and one resigned when Trump took office.
Several state and local governments also filed lawsuits against drug companies and pharmacy benefit managers, accusing them <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">of inflating insulin prices</a>.
In November 2024, the FTC faced legal challenges from three competing pharmacy-benefit managers over its attempt to restrict their ability to negotiate drug prices for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/42097386/cvs-healthcignaunitedhealths-pharmacy-benefit-managers-accuse-ftc-of-overreach-in-effort-to-reshape-drug-rebate-system" rel="noreferrer noopener">health plan sponsors</a>.
The PBMs argue that this action seeks to upend current drug rebate contracts and disrupt long-standing practices, all while expanding the FTC&#8217;s authority beyond traditional limits.
The companies also&nbsp;contend&nbsp;that the administrative proceeding violates constitutional principles by lacking independent judicial oversight and claim that the FTC&#8217;s approach could result in significant and irreparable injury.
Price Action: CI stock is down 1.13% at $328.16, UNH stock is up 0.04% at $523.40, and CVS stock is down 0.85% at $67.49&nbsp;during the premarket session at the last check Thursday.

10 Health Care Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Cigna Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.67 million shares sold short, which is 1.34% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.16 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cigna Group 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 Group'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cigna Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.82%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
