I thought there wasn’t a correlation between layoffs and stock.

I see there were layoffs in several other countries this week, but nothing here, right?

Another. New. Low.

Is this some kind of joke? I've never seen more bravado from a group of leaders and their CEO in my career.

He may have less bravado than Elon, or Jensen, but he has less to no products people care about either.

World gone mad.

Another round of sla-ghter.

Cigna plans to reduce its global workforce by approximately 2,000 positions, representing less than 3% of its workforce.

The layoffs will occur by the end of February.

A spokesperson for The Cigna Group said by statement: "As we drive greater efficiency across our business, we have made the difficult decision to reduce roles in our workforce. This decision was made with deliberate care and focus, and we are providing a package that includes a variety of transition services for impacted colleagues."

Cigna did not give specifics on which jobs or departments would be impacted.

The news coincides with Cigna’s Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings release in which the managed care company reported better-than-expected results for the quarter but set its full-year earnings guidance below expectations.

During the earnings call, President, CEO and Chairman David Cordani announced the settlement of a lawsuit with the Federal Trade Commission over Express Scripts' insulin pricing.

xLight, a U.S.-based startup developing an EUV light source based on a particle accelerator, on Tuesday signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the U.S. Department of Commerce for $150 million in proposed federal incentives under the CHIPS and Science Act. xLight came out of the blue earlier this year when it hired Pat Gelsinger, former chief executive of Intel, as executive chairman. The money, if awarded, will be used to bring xLight's free-electron laser (FEL) based light source closer to reality once it is built in Albany and its viability is proven in practice.
