Cigna

Cigna is a large American health services company, combining a major medical insurance business with Evernorth, its fast-growing pharmacy benefit and health services arm. The group serves employers, government programs and individuals, and the Evernorth segment has become a significant profit driver as drug distribution and specialty pharmacy scale up. Cigna has paid and raised its dividend for over three decades, though for much of that history it distributed only a token amount before adopting a more meaningful payout in recent years. The yield remains modest, and the story is one of a long continuity record now paired with growing distributions. It fits investors comfortable with healthcare policy risk in exchange for steady growth.
