Cigna Q3 2026: Strong Execution Drives EPS Raise to $30.60; ACA Exit Creates $200M 2027 Headwind While Specialty Compounds at 15%

Cigna delivered Q3 2026 adjusted EPS of $7.98 on adjusted revenues of $73.8 billion, raising full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to at least $30.60. The Cigna Healthcare medical care ratio held at 85%, with medical cost trend described as elevated but stable and consistent with pricing assumptions. The 2027 setup is shaped by three known headwinds — ACA exchange exit (approximately $200 million all-in impact), PBS rebate pool compression, and a lighter biosimilar launch calendar — offset by stop loss margin recovery, strong selling season retention in the high 90s, and at least 2 million new PBS customers, anchoring management's confidence in at least 10% adjusted EPS growth off a $30 run-rate.
