Cigna Group and UNITEDHEALTH GROUP INC, side by side on the measures that account for debt and cash — each built from filed accounts.
Side by side
The two diverge most on operating margin: 3.3% for CI against 4.2% for UNH. Whether that gap is justified is a judgement this page does not make.

Green marks the reading conventionally read as cheaper or stronger on that row — a direction, not a recommendation, and the two companies frequently win different rows. * Price-based multiples are a snapshot taken 2026-09-09; the rest come from filed accounts. A dash means the measure could not be computed — each company page says why.
