Cigna Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.67 million shares sold short, which is 1.34% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.16 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Cigna Group Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741095057_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cigna Group has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Cigna Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cigna Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.82%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

10 Health Care Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Shares of major healthcare companies such as The Cigna Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>), Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>) and UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) dropped Wednesday following the signing of an executive order by President Donald Trump aimed at strengthening price transparency regulations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/02/43981978/10-health-care-stocks-whale-activity-in-todays-session">in the industry.</a>
What To Know: The order, signed on Feb. 25, directs federal agencies, including the Departments of Treasury, Labor and Health and Human Services, to enforce and expand a 2019 rule that requires hospitals and insurers to publicly disclose the actual costs of medical services. This initiative seeks to eliminate price secrecy and provide consumers with clearer information on healthcare expenses according to Reuters.
The original 2019 rule required hospitals to display pricing information for up to 300 shoppable services in a consumer-friendly format and maintain a machine-readable file of negotiated rates for every service provided. Additionally, health insurance companies were mandated to disclose their negotiated rates with healthcare providers, their out-of-network payments, and the actual costs they or their pharmacy benefit managers pay for prescription drugs.
The renewed push for transparency has raised concerns among investors that stricter enforcement could impact revenue streams for hospitals and insurers. With healthcare companies required to publish actual prices rather than estimates, there is speculation that insurers may face increased pressure to negotiate lower rates with providers, potentially affecting profit margins. 
Price Action: The Cigna Group shares were down 2.27% to $306.77, Molina Healthcare shares dropped 7.95% to $281.65 and UnitedHealth Group shares declined 1.89% to $461.50 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Cigna Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

The Justice Department has reportedly launched a civil fraud investigation into UnitedHealth Group Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) Medicare billing practices.
The probe began in recent months and will examine UnitedHealth&#8217;s Medicare Advantage plans and physician groups following reports that the company received billions in federal payments for questionable diagnoses.

The insurance giant is already under scrutiny. In January, the Federal Trade Commission released a second interim staff report detailing significant price markups on specialty generic drugs by&nbsp;UnitedHealth&#8217;s pharmacy benefit management unit along with&nbsp;CVS Health Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) CVS Caremark and&nbsp;Cigna Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43010888/ftc-says-unitedhealth-cvs-cigna-make-billions-via-pbms-on-specialty-drugs" rel="noreferrer noopener">Express Scripts</a>.
The Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/unitedhealth-medicare-doj-diagnosis-investigation-66b9f1db?mod=latest_headlines" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> that Medicare paid UnitedHealth substantial sums based on diagnoses added to patients&#8217; records, some of which doctors said were irrelevant or undocumented.
The WSJ report&#8217;s analysis of Medicare data from 2019 to 2021 found that UnitedHealth-employed doctors significantly increased the number of lucrative diagnoses for patients in the company&#8217;s Medicare Advantage plans.
Additionally, some diagnoses were added without physician treatment, including through in-home nurse visits, leading to an extra $8.7 billion in federal payments in 2021.
Each visit by UnitedHealth-employed nurses was valued at an average of $2,735 in additional government reimbursements.
The WSJ report added that UnitedHealth has defended its Medicare billing practices, arguing that they lead to more accurate diagnoses, improve patient care, and reduce healthcare costs. The company has previously stated that it performs well in Medicare audits and has disputed the Journal&#8217;s findings.
UnitedHealthcare, one of the largest health insurers in the U.S. with over 50 million members, has faced ongoing criticism over its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42365853/unitedhealthcare-faces-tough-questions-following-insurance-business-ceos-tragic-death" rel="noreferrer noopener">claim denial practices</a>.
A Senate investigation earlier this year concluded that Medicare Advantage providers, including UnitedHealthcare, intentionally denied claims to increase profits.
As per a recent media report, UnitedHealthcare, the insurance arm of&nbsp;UnitedHealth, is reportedly offering some employees in its benefits operations unit a chance to take a buyout if they <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43829064/unitedhealthcare-offers-voluntary-buyouts-possible-layoffs-if-targets-not-met-cnbc" rel="noreferrer noopener">resign by March 3</a>.
In a social media <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1892912458840547554" rel="noreferrer noopener">post</a>, investor Bill Ackman said,&#8221; When a company, in this case United Healthcare, attacks its critics, the probability that it has committed fraud or is guilty of a crime increases substantially.&#8221;
&#8220;My psychological short here is paying off and I would avoid this stock,&#8221; Ackman added.
Price Action: UNH stock was down 10.2% at $451.36&nbsp;during the premarket session at the last check on Friday.
