AI CONVICTION THESIS

The Cigna Group generates substantial free cash flow from health services and pharmacy benefits, funds a large ongoing buyback and a rising dividend, and screens cheap on value (V77). Its exit from Medicare Advantage removed the segment causing the worst cost-trend volatility across the sector. The trivial insider selling is routine and nothing adverse is known on accounting or solvency.
