Cigna Group (CI) Seen as Undervalued Despite Recent Share Price Declines
March 13, 2026, 6:01 PM EDT. Cigna Group's stock (CI) closed at $265.88, down 13% over the past year amid weak short-term returns and mixed investor sentiment. The health insurer faces headwinds affecting healthcare stocks broadly. Yet, valuation analysis paints a different picture. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model values Cigna at approximately $891.67 per share, indicating it could be about 70% undervalued against its current price. This estimate is based on projected free cash flows growing to $10.2 billion by 2030. While recent price declines suggest caution, the robust long-term cash flow outlook and strong valuation scores imply potential upside. Investors should weigh short-term challenges against these signals when considering Cigna for their portfolios.
