Abstract

The article focuses on the leadership transition and recent financial performance of Cigna Group, a major integrated healthcare services company. Brian Evanko, currently president and chief operating officer, will become CEO on July 1, 2026, succeeding David M. Cordani, who will retire after nearly 17 years as CEO and assume the role of executive chair. Under Cordani’s leadership, Cigna expanded through acquisitions such as Express Scripts and the launch of Evernorth Health Services, which includes specialty pharmacy and virtual care businesses. The company reported 2025 revenue of $274.9 billion, an 11% increase, with Express Scripts’ revenue growing 18%, and reaffirmed its 2026 earnings guidance. Additionally, Cigna settled a Federal Trade Commission lawsuit requiring pharmacy reimbursement reforms and operational changes at Express Scripts, with manageable impacts expected on the company’s tax rate and long-term earnings growth.
