Shares are down because the market fears they will do a tie-up deal with Humana, but CI bowed out. This is good given Human's problems. Managers are excellent, making good deals. EPS grew 13% compounded annual growth rate from 2013-2023. Are buying back shares and pay a dividend.

Exited, and allocated proceeds to UNH, as it's a better performer, larger scale. He also had concerns over customer concentration. Not expensive at 12x forward earnings plus 1.7% yield.

DON'T BUY
Cigna Corp.
There are better opportunities. It is in a tough space. It is probably not a good market in which to hold stocks that face challenges. All countries are putting pressure on drug prices.

TOP PICK
Cigna Corp.
US health insurance under pressure. Very cheap. Will benefit from next Democratic government when it makes Obamacare better. Retirees who are living off medicare, but want to buy extra insurance, will go to a company like Cigna. Best value without taking on drug pricing or pipeline risk. Huge tailwind in US healthcare space. Yield is 0.02%. (Analysts’ price target is $214.83)

WATCH
Cigna Corp.
Merged with Express Scripts. Whole sector is under pressure because of a recent announcement. Important area which helps keep medical expenses low. He's looking at the sector.

PAST TOP PICK
Cigna Corp.

(A Top Pick Sept 20/16. Up 43%.) He continues to like the US healthcare sector. In the US, if over 65 years of age, you spend 3X as much on healthcare as under the age of 65. This company doesn’t have much exposure to the Affordable Care Act and is well positioned to benefit from those trends.

PAST TOP PICK
Cigna Corp.

(Top Pick Aug 17/16, Up 39.68%) A US based health insurance company. The news was that last year Anthem had made an offer for them, but he thought the takeover would not go through. There is a large break fee for the deal not going through. He thinks going forward they will buy back stock, invest and raise their dividend. It is another well run story.

Financial Services
TOP PICK
Cigna Corp.

A US health insurer provider, one of the largest. There is a pending deal. Aetna (AET-N) (?) wants to buy the company, and it is unlikely that deal gets approved. If the deal doesn’t get approved, the break fee is about $1.5 billion. On top of that, when you look at the cash they can deploy, they are going to have about $10 billion to play with. They can buy back a ton of stock if the deal does not go through. If it does go through, you still get 30% upside. Dividend yield of .03%.

Financial Services
TOP PICK
Cigna Corp.

Health care insurance space, global. A company wanted to buy them and it was rejected by the US government, but they have until next April for the deal to go through. 14 times earnings. They help companies save money. Once the deal does close, or doesn’t, they will have the ability to raise the dividend.

Financial Services
BUY
Cigna Corp.

Do the benefits programs for a lot of small and medium sized businesses and individuals and will benefit from Obama care. It has traded off from fear that businesses would have to now insure all their employees.
