CVS Health: One Good Quarter Is Not Enough; Retain Sell
CVS
Published: February 18, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Despite a recent 45% rally, I maintain a 'Sell' view on CVS due to its underwhelming execution record and rising leverage levels. CVS' Q4 results showed a surprising EBIT margin beat, but continued margin erosion in its insurance business remains a concern. Improved margin performance in FY25 is possible with better insurance policy terms and reduced loss-making membership counts but given a poor execution record, it is better to wait for evidence.
