The CVS Turnaround Story Continues to Strengthen

CVS aims to be the most trusted health company in the United States. It has spent over a decade positioning itself as a managed care leader, with the acquisitions of pharmacy benefit manager Caremark (2007), insurance provider Aetna (2018), and healthcare service provider Oak Street Health (2023) defining its strategic direction. CVS' top-tier retail pharmacy, health insurer, and PBM franchises create the potential to improve health outcomes and even bend the healthcare cost curve for its clients, especially if it can align incentives through its healthcare service operations.
