Cigna Corp. said a new federal proposal that would curb rebates from drugmakers would have minimal impact on its results and offered conservative earnings guidance for 2019, the first year it will include the operations of Express Scripts Holding Co. Cigna said that for 2019, it projects adjusted income of $6.2 billion to $6.4 billion, or $16 to $16.50 per share. Analysts wrote that this range was slightly lower than consensus projections, but it included about $200 million, or 40 cents a share, in lingering overhead costs tied to Anthem Inc.’s early exit from its pharmacy-benefit contract with Express Scripts.
