December 31, 2024 calculation

Operating profit margin = Operating income (ttm) ÷ Revenue (ttm)
= $8,409,000K ÷ $245,305,000K
= 3.43%

Cigna Corp's operating profit margin has shown a gradual decline from 5.13% as of March 31, 2020, to 3.43% by the end of December 31, 2024. The trend indicates a consistent decrease in the profitability of the company in terms of generating operating income from its revenue over the period under consideration. This declining trend in the operating profit margin may raise concerns about the company's ability to effectively control its operating expenses relative to its revenue generation. It is essential for Cigna Corp to re-evaluate its cost structure and operational efficiency to reverse this downward trajectory in its operating profit margin and improve overall profitability.
