Cigna Corp. on Friday raised its full-year earnings projection, although the company noted it expects to record a net unfavorable impact from the Covid-19 pandemic in the year.
The Bloomfield, Conn.-based healthcare company now expects full-year adjusted earnings of at least $20.20 a share, an increase of 20 cents from previous guidance. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had been forecasting full-year adjusted earnings of $20.27 a share.
The Covid-19 pandemic will lead to a forecast net unfavorable outlook of about $1.25 a share, the company predicted.
