To predict the stock price of Cigna (CI) for the next trading week, we analyze both fundamental and technical factors.
Cigna (CI) has a Strong Buy consensus among analysts, with a price target of $365.39, indicating significant upside potential. The company recently reported Q4 revenue of $65.68 billion, exceeding estimates, though earnings missed due to higher stop-loss medical costs. Management has announced a $6 billion increase in its share repurchase program, signaling confidence in its valuation.
The stock is currently trading near the lower end of its 52-week range ($56.715 - $68.77). Key Fibonacci levels indicate a pivot point at $319.51, with resistance at $329.11 and $335.04, and support at $309.91 and $303.98. The MACD is bearish, but the RSI is around 40, suggesting potential oversold conditions.
Based on the analysis, the stock is expected to trade around $322 next week. Given the oversold conditions and positive news sentiment, a cautious Buy is recommended as the stock approaches support levels. However, be mindful of resistance at the Fibonacci levels.
The price of CI is predicted to go up -1.08%, based on the high correlation periods with PNC. The similarity of these two price pattern on the periods is 95.95%.

Combining with Express Scripts gave Cigna more tools to help clients control their healthcare costs, and we see significant cross-selling opportunities across their respective books of business.
With its strong medical cost trend history and goal to reduce that trend to the low-single-digits, Cigna should be able to benefit from continued enrollment gains in the more profitable commercial segment.
Cigna's organic earnings growth prospects look solid both with and without capital-allocation activities, such as share repurchases.
