CVS reported first-quarter results that included 6% revenue growth, 12% adjusted operating income growth, and adjusted EPS growth of 14%. Management also raised its guidance for the full year. Shares rallied over 6% in midday trading May 6 on this news.
CVS' diverse operations create the opportunity to view a patient more holistically by managing both medical and pharmacy benefits, which could lead to revenue and cost synergies for the organization.
Healthcare reform will likely remain a recurring political topic until universal, affordable coverage is achieved in the US, and CVS' stock may experience volatility if scenarios that threaten its prospects gain traction.
