UnitedHealth Group (UNH) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.92 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.75 per share. This compares to earnings of $7.15 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +6.18%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this largest U.S. health insurer would post earnings of $4.84 per share when it actually produced earnings of $4.08, delivering a surprise of -15.7%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
UnitedHealth, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - HMOs industry, posted revenues of $113.16 billion for the quarter ended September 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.17%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $100.82 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
UnitedHealth shares have lost about 27.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 16.9%.
What's Next for UnitedHealth?
While UnitedHealth has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for UnitedHealth was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.07 on $113.87 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $16.15 on $448.36 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical - HMOs is currently in the bottom 26% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Humana (HUM), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2025. The results are expected to be released on November 5.
This health insurer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.91 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -30.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.3% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

For 2025, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Centene’s revenues is pegged at $190.45 billion, implying a rise of 16.8% year over year. The consensus mark for 2025 EPS is pegged at $1.69, implying a decrease of 76.4%, year over year.
Centenebeat the earnings estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed once, with the average surprise being negative 5.2%. This is depicted in the figure below.
Centene Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Q3 Earnings Whispers for Centene
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for the company this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy), or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. That’s not the case here.
CNC has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
What’s Shaping Centene’s Q3 Results?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s total commercial memberships indicates a 26.6% year-over-year increase, whereas our model estimate predicts a 23.1% growth, primarily due to growth in the commercial marketplace. Both the consensus estimate and our model estimate for Medicare PDP memberships signal nearly 17% growth from the year-ago quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate projects the company’s premium growth at about 19% year over year, in line with our model forecasts. This is likely to have supported top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for total membership indicates a 2.2% year-over-year decline, due to decreases in Medicaid and Medicare memberships. Both the consensus estimate and our model estimate for the company’s total Medicaid memberships indicate a nearly 2% decline from a year ago.
The consensus estimate for service revenues indicates a 7.2% fall from the year-ago quarter’s $784 million. Also, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s investment and other income indicates an 11.7% year-over-year decline from $432 million.
Moreover, following the industry trend, CNC’s medical costs are expected to have remained elevated in the third quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the total health benefits ratio is pegged at 93%, up from 89.2% in the year-ago period, meaning a reduced portion of premiums remaining in hand after paying claims. Our model estimate for total operating expenses indicates more than a 15% increase in the third quarter. These are expected to have affected the bottom line, making an earnings beat uncertain.

Can Centene's Q3 Earnings Escape Industry's Cost Headwinds?

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) today is up +0.32%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) is up +0.18%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) is up +0.33%. December E-mini S&P futures (ESZ25) are up +0.35%, and December E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQZ25) are up +0.35%.
Stock indexes are moving higher today, led by strength in energy producers after WTI crude oil jumped more than +5% when the US blacklisted state-run Rosneft PJSC and Lukoil PJSC, Russia's largest oil producers, which threatens to tighten global oil supplies. Also, Dow Inc. is up more than +11% after reporting stronger-than-expected Q3 adjusted operating Ebitda. In addition, Honeywell International is up more than +5% after reporting better-than-expected Q3 sales.

On the negative side, Molina Healthcare is down more than -20% to lead health insurers lower after cutting its full-year adjusted EPS forecast. Also, International Business Machines is down more than -4% after reporting a smaller-than-expected increase in its Q3 hybrid cloud unit. In addition, Tesla is down more than -3% after reporting Q3 EPS below consensus.
Late Wednesday, the Trump administration announced sanctions on Rosneft PJSC and Lukoil PJSC, Russia's biggest oil producers, due to "Russia's lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine." The new sanctions could bar foreign countries or companies from conducting business with the oil companies and cut them off from much of the international financial system.
The markets are focusing on progress in US-China trade talks, as President Trump reiterated his threat on Monday to boost tariffs on Chinese goods "if there isn't a deal" by November 1. President Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next week on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in South Korea.
The shutdown of the US government continues into its fourth week, weighing on market sentiment and delaying key economic reports. The government shutdown means delays in the release of government reports, including the last four weeks of weekly initial unemployment claims and the September payroll report. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said the September consumer price report, which was initially scheduled to be released last Wednesday, will be released this Friday. The White House has warned that if the government shutdown lingers, it would trigger widespread dismissals of employees in government programs that don't align with President Trump's priorities. Bloomberg Economics estimates that 640,000 federal workers will be furloughed during the shutdown, which would expand jobless claims and push the unemployment rate up to 4.7%.
The markets this week will focus on earnings results as the Q3 earnings season continues. Rising corporate earnings expectations are a bullish backdrop for stocks. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, 85% of the S&P 500 companies that have reported so far have beaten forecasts, on course for the best quarter since 2021. Also, more than 22% of companies in the S&P 500 that have provided guidance for their Q3 earnings results are expected to beat analysts' expectations, the highest in a year. However, Q3 profits are expected to have risen by +7.2% y/y, the smallest increase in two years. Also, Q3 sales growth is projected to slow to +5.9% y/y from 6.4% in Q2.
The markets are pricing in a 99% chance of a -25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on Oct 28-29.
Overseas stock markets are mixed today. The Euro Stoxx 50 is up +0.17%. China's Shanghai Composite closed up +0.22%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 closed down -1.35%.
Interest Rates
December 10-year T-notes (ZNZ5) today are down -8 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield is up +3.4 bp to 3.984%. T-notes are under pressure today due to inflation concerns, as a +5% surge in WTI crude oil prices has boosted inflation expectations and pushed the 10-year breakeven inflation rate up to a 1-week high of 2.309%. Also, supply pressures are negative for T-notes as the Treasury will auction $26 billion of 5-year TIPS later today.
T-notes have ongoing support due to the ongoing US government shutdown, which could lead to additional job losses, reduced consumer spending, and a weakened US economy, potentially allowing the Fed to continue cutting interest rates.
European government bond yields are moving higher today. The 10-year German bund yield is up +1.6 bp to 2.579%. The 10-year UK gilt yield is up +0.8 bp to 4.425%.
Swaps are discounting a 1% chance for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at its next policy meeting on October 30.
US Stock Movers

Stocks Climb on Strength in Energy Producers

In the ever-evolving health insurance landscape, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated UNH and Humana Inc. HUM stand as two dominant forces. Both companies have built resilient business models rooted in Medicare Advantage (MA), pharmacy benefit management and healthcare services, pillars that will remain vital as the U.S. population continues to age.
While UnitedHealth boasts a diversified empire spanning insurance, care delivery and analytics, Humana’s focused approach to government-backed plans has cemented its leadership in the MA space. With demographic trends, utilization shifts and policy reforms reshaping the sector, investors are paying close attention to both names.
As healthcare costs rise and enrollment dynamics evolve, one critical question looms: Which insurer offers the stronger prescription for investors today? Let’s take a closer look at their fundamentals to find out which stock truly comes out on top.
The Case for UnitedHealth
With a market capitalization of $330.1 billion, UnitedHealth has long set the benchmark for scale and diversification in managed care. Its operations are divided between UnitedHealthcare, which provides insurance coverage and Optum, a fast-growing arm offering healthcare services, analytics and pharmacy benefit management. This integrated structure helps cushion the company against volatility in any one area.
In its latest reported quarter, UnitedHealth delivered revenues of $111.6 billion, up 12.9% year over year, supported by solid domestic commercial membership growth and ongoing strength in Optum Rx. However, rising medical utilization has pressured margins, especially within its MA business. The company’s medical care ratio climbed to 89.4%, up from 85.1% a year earlier, signaling higher medical costs that left a smaller share of premiums after claims.
The Optum brand continues to be a long-term growth driver, generating $67.2 billion in revenues in the last reported quarter, up 6.9% from last year. Yet, it is facing near-term pressure in its Optum Health unit. While UNH’s scale and vertical integration offer unmatched stability, growth in its Medicaid book has remained tapered. The company is currently under scrutiny over its Medicare billing practices, reimbursement methods, and Optum Rx operations.
Additionally, UNH is facing questions surrounding its handling of the loans to healthcare providers following the 2024 Change Healthcare cyberattack. From a balance sheet standpoint, UNH’s long-term debt-to-capital ratio of 43.7% exceeds Humana’s 40.8%, indicating slightly higher leverage. Its current share price also trades above its average analyst target of $363.32, implying a modest 0.3% downside risk. In contrast, Humana’s stock trades below its average target of $292.42, signaling an estimated 3% upside potential.
The Case for Humana
Though smaller in scale with a market cap of $34.2 billion, Humana has carved a niche as a Medicare Advantage specialist. The company is showing signs of stabilization, with its benefit ratio improving to 88.7% in the first half of 2025 from 89.4% a year earlier, a reflection of better cost discipline and pricing efficiency despite elevated industrywide utilization.
In the last reported quarter, Humana posted adjusted revenues of $32.4 billion, rising 10.2% year over year, fueled by strength in state-based contracts and CenterWell performance. Improving membership figures in Medicare Supplement, Group Medicare Advantage and Medicare Stand-Alone PDPs are providing some relief amid declining overall memberships.
Humana’s renewed focus on value-based care and operational efficiency is beginning to pay off. Its CenterWell primary care centers continue to expand, lowering long-term medical costs and boosting member retention through coordinated care delivery. This approach enhances profitability while ensuring sustainable growth in its footprint.
While UnitedHealth’s vast Optum network gives it size, Humana’s more agile structure allows it to adapt faster to regulatory and reimbursement changes. The company’s efforts to streamline operations, exit unprofitable segments and reinvest in Medicare Advantage growth position it favorably for the coming days.
How Do Zacks Estimates Compare for UNH & HUM?
Analysts anticipate a rebound in Humana’s 2025 earnings, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate standing at $17.05 per share, implying 5.2% year-over-year growth as its cost pressures ease and enrollment stabilizes. Over the past month, the estimate has seen one upward revision with no downward adjustments. Historically, HUM has beaten estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed once, delivering an average earnings surprise of 9.6%.
Humana Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
For UnitedHealth, consensus forecasts 2025 EPS of $16.16, reflecting a steep 41.6% year-over-year decline. The estimate has remained unchanged over the past month, signaling limited near-term optimism. Over the last four quarters, UNH beat twice and missed twice, posting an average negative surprise of 3.3%.
UnitedHealth Group Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Valuation: UNH vs. HUM
Humana trades at a forward P/E of 20.81X, below UnitedHealth’s 21.29X, offering a relative discount despite a stronger projected rebound in 2025. This valuation gap suggests investors may be underestimating Humana’s margin recovery potential and efficiency gains. HUM carries a Value Score of A.
Meanwhile, UNH’s premium multiple reflects its size and defensive appeal, but with growth moderating and cost pressures lingering, the upside appears constrained. UNH carries a Value Score of B.

Price Performance Comparison
Year to date, Humana’s shares have gained 16.4%, sharply outperforming UnitedHealth’s 27.8% decline, the broader industry’s 21.7% drop and the S&P 500’s 15.6% growth. This contrast highlights improving investor confidence in Humana’s turnaround plan, cost containment and earnings visibility.
The positive price action suggests that markets are starting to recognize Humana’s repositioning efforts, while sentiment toward UnitedHealth remains muted amid uncertainty surrounding its medical cost trends and regulatory investigations.

Conclusion
UnitedHealth continues to reign as the industry’s most diversified and stable player, supported by its vast Optum platform and balanced revenue streams. However, the near term looks challenging, with elevated utilization, regulatory probes and margin pressure clouding its growth trajectory.
Humana, though smaller, is regaining momentum through disciplined cost control, sharper focus on Medicare Advantage, and expanding CenterWell operations. Its leaner structure, targeted strategy, and more appealing valuation give it an edge in both recovery speed and growth potential.
In this battle of healthcare giants, Humana emerges as the healthier option to add to your portfolio; better positioned to capture the demographic tailwinds and policy-driven opportunities ahead, even though both companies currently have a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Is Beam Therapeutics (BEAM) Stock Outpacing Its Medical Peers This Year?

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Tuesday closed down -0.16%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.44%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -0.69%. December E-mini S&P futures (ESZ25) fell -0.20%, and December E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQZ25) fell -0.75%.
Stock indexes settled mixed on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average recovering from a one-month low. Stocks were pressured on Tuesday as the US-China trade conflict escalated further after China sanctioned five US units of South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean Co., in the latest in a series of tit-for-tat moves. Both countries have slapped special port fees on each other’s vessels. The moves have implications for the global economy, as vessels are responsible for moving more than 80% of international trade. Additionally, President Trump stated that he may halt trade in cooking oil from China as a retaliatory measure against China’s refusal to purchase US soybeans.

Stock indexes recovered from their worst levels on Tuesday as bond yields declined on dovish comments from Fed Chair Powell, which reinforced expectations that the Fed will cut interest rates at the October 28-29 FOMC meeting. Fed Chair Powell said labor market perceptions remain on a downward trajectory and that the Fed may stop shrinking its balance sheet and end quantitative tightening in the coming months. The 10-year T-note yield fell -2 bp to 4.02%.
Stocks also garnered support on Tuesday on AI optimism after Walmart rose more than 4% after it announced a partnership with OpenAI to enable shoppers to browse and purchase products on ChatGPT.
The escalation of trade tensions has sparked buying of precious metals as a haven, as gold and silver rallied to new record highs on Tuesday. Also, global bond markets are the recipients of haven demand from the trade turmoil as bond yields declined worldwide. The 10-year German bund yield dropped to a 3.25-month low of 2.58% and the 10-year T-note yield fell to a 3.5-week low of 4.00%.
Tuesday’s minor economic news showed that the US Sep NFIB small business optimism index fell -2.0 to 98.8, weaker than expectations of 100.6.
Most stock indexes rallied to record highs last week on optimism that growth in the AI sector and spending on artificial intelligence will translate into corporate profits. Stocks are also underpinned by hopes that a resilient US economy and additional Fed easing will continue to support the economy.
The shutdown of the US government continues, weighing on market sentiment and delaying key economic reports. The government shutdown means delays in the release of government reports, including the last two weeks of weekly initial unemployment claims, the Aug US trade report, and the Sep nonfarm payrolls report. Last Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said that it will release the September consumer price report on October 24 if the government shutdown continues into Wednesday, when the Sep CPI report is scheduled for release. The White House has warned that if the government shutdown lingered, it would trigger widespread dismissals of employees in government programs that don’t align with President Trump’s priorities. Bloomberg Economics estimates that 640,000 federal workers will be furloughed during the shutdown, which would expand jobless claims and push the unemployment rate up to 4.7%.
The markets this week will focus on Q3 earnings results as the Q3 earnings season begins. Rising corporate earnings expectations are a bullish backdrop for stocks. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, more than 22% of companies in the S&P 500 provided guidance for their Q3 earnings results that are expected to beat analysts’ expectations, the highest in a year. However, Q3 profits are expected to have risen by +7.2%, the smallest increase in two years. Also, Q3 sales growth is projected to slow to +5.9% from 6.4% in Q2.
The markets are pricing in a 98% chance of a -25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on Oct 28-29.
Overseas stock markets settled lower on Tuesday. The Euro Stoxx 50 fell to a 2-week low and closed down -0.29%. China’s Shanghai Composite closed down -0.62%. Japan’s Nikkei Stock 225 dropped to a 1-week low and closed down sharply by -2.58%.
Interest Rates
December 10-year T-notes (ZNZ5) on Tuesday closed up +8 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield fell -1.5 bp to 4.017%. Dec -T-notes rallied to a 3.5-week high on Tuesday, and the 10-year T-note yield fell to a 3.5-week low of 3.998%. The escalation of the US-China trade conflict sparked safe-haven buying of government debt securities. Also, falling inflation expectations are supportive for T-notes after the 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to a 3.25-month low on Tuesday at 2.299%. T-notes also have support amid concerns about the ongoing US government shutdown, which could lead to additional job losses, reduced consumer spending, and a weakened US economy, potentially allowing the Fed to continue cutting interest rates.
European government bond yields moved lower on Tuesday. The 10-year German bund yield dropped to a 3.25-month low of 2.583% and finished down -2.6 bp at 2.610%. The 10-year UK gilt yield fell to a 2-month low of 4.570% and finished down -6.8 bp to 4.590%.
The German Oct ZEW expectations of economic growth survey rose +2.0 to 39.3, weaker than expectations of 41.1.
ECB President Lagarde said the Eurozone economy is “in a good place” as risks to the economic outlook are more balanced and the Eurozone economy has been relatively resilient to tariffs.
UK Aug employment rose by +91,000 in the 3-months ending August, which was weaker than expectations of +125,000. The ILO unemployment rate rose +0.1 to a 4.25-year high of 4.8% in the 3-months ending August, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of no change at 4.7%.
Swaps are discounting a 2% chance for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at its next policy meeting on October 30.

Notable Two Hundred Day Moving Average Cross - HUM

On Thursday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) released the 2026 Star Ratings for Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (“MAPD”) plans. The five-star rating system evaluates Medicare health care and drug plans to ensure they meet CMS’ quality standards, with plans rated four stars or higher qualifying for bonus payments. CVS Health’s CVS insurer, Aetna, continues to rank among the top tier of large, publicly traded companies, supported by high-quality performance across several of its largest Medicare Advantage contracts. More than 81% of Aetna MA members are in plans rated 4.0 stars or higher, with more than 63% of members in a 4.5-star plan for 2026.
CVS’ key rivals, Humana HUM and UnitedHealth Group UNH, had previously reported preliminary 2026 Star Ratings data. Humana has nearly 20% of its members enrolled in plans rated 4 stars and above, with 14% of members in 4.5-star plans. The company’s average Star rating of 3.61 is consistent with last year’s levels. On the other hand, UnitedHealth Group estimated that it would have approximately 78% of its members in four-star or higher plans. According to Reuters, citing Oppenheimer analysts, both insurers’ final star ratings were in line with their prior expectations.
CVS Health Stock Price Performance
CVS shares opened 1.6% higher on Oct. 10 following the after-hours announcement and ended the session at $77.90. The stock’s impressive year-to-date run now extends to 73.5%, outpacing both the industry’s 1.5% decline and the Medical sector’s modest 0.1% gains. In the same time frame, Humana shares rose 10.4%, while UnitedHealth stock declined 29.9%.

A Peek Into Aetna’s 2026 MA Plans
Aetna has unveiled the 2026 MA Plans centering around three key elements — access, simplicity and care. The company’s 2026 MADP plans will be available across 43 states and Washington, D.C., covering nearly 57 million Medicare-eligible beneficiaries. Key highlights include a $2,100 maximum annual out-of-pocket for covered prescription drugs and affordable SilverScript prescription drug plan coverage.
In every county where plans are available, Aetna provides a $0 monthly premium plan. These also come with $0 copays for Tier 1 drugs at in-network pharmacies and include dental, vision and hearing benefits, along with a SilverSneakers fitness membership. Aetna estimates that 82% of the Medicare-eligible beneficiaries will have access to a $0 premium MA plan.
Further, eligible members can use the Extra Benefits Card, powered by CVS Health’s OTC Health Solutions, on certain services and products at CVS stores and at more than 70,000 additional participating locations. Aetna offers certain in-network services at no additional costs, including $0 copays for annual physicals, colonoscopies, mammograms, routine eye and hearing exams, and $0 copays for primary care visits and labs for some plans. All MA plans include an annual Healthy Home Visit from a licensed Signify Health clinician at no extra cost.
In 2026, Aetna is broadening its Special Needs Plans (SNPs), which provide additional targeted benefits to eligible members. Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs) will expand to 18 states, including 16 new ones. Dual Eligible (D-SNPs) will grow to 119 new counties, with all members receiving a monthly allowance on an Extra Benefits Card for approved over-the-counter products.
Innovation-Driven Aetna Boosts Optimism for CVS
Earlier this year, Aetna introduced an approach to bundling approvals for prior authorizations for certain cancer-related scans and tests, making it one upfront approval instead of multiple approvals over months. The move builds on CVS’ years-long effort to simplify and reduce unnecessary complexities in health care to make critical medications available more quickly. Currently, Aetna has one of the shortest lists of treatments and procedures that require prior authorization, approving more than 95% eligible requests within 24 hours.
In addition, Aetna’s Clinical Collaboration program is on track to be implemented in 10 hospitals by the end of 2025. The program helps reduce the standard 30-day readmission rates and emergency room visits while easing the administrative load on hospitals and clinical personnel. As part of CVS Health’s $20 billion multi-year digital health care investment, Aetna rolled out Aetna Care Paths, a first-to-market care option available within the Aetna Health app.
CVS’ Valuation Metrics
CVS currently trades at a forward five-year price/earnings (P/E) of 11.17X, below the industry average of 14.95X, UnitedHealth Group’s 20.71X and Humana’s 19.62X. However, the valuation appears premium in comparison to CVS’ five-year median of 9.73X.

What’s Pressuring CVS Health?
The company’s retail pharmacy, specialty pharmacy and long-term care pharmacy (LTC) operations are facing ongoing reimbursement pressures from competition, client demands for lower prices, generic drug pricing, earlier-than-expected generic drug introductions and network reimbursement challenges. Increased utilization trends are also expected to continue exerting pressure on CVS’ Healthcare Benefits segment and its healthcare delivery assets throughout the remainder of 2025.
Additionally, legal issues are mounting for CVS Health. A federal court ordered its pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), Caremark, to pay nearly $290 million in damages following a decade-long allegation of overcharging Medicare for prescription drugs. More recently, the Omnicare LTC business filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after receiving a $949 million federal penalty related to fraudulent billing of drugs.
Our Take on CVS Stock
Aetna’s latest Star Ratings success emphasizes its focus on improving health outcomes for its MA members. Its 2026 MA plans aim to provide access to affordable, personalized care. Innovations to simplify the healthcare journey further strengthen CVS’ long-term outlook. Though ongoing reimbursement challenges and legal setbacks could affect results, the stock’s impressive YTD gains and attractive valuation make it a solid hold for existing CVS investors. However, prospective buyers should wait for a better entry point.
