In other recent news, CVS Health has been in the spotlight due to several developments. Baird has adjusted the company’s price target, reflecting a 16% decrease, but maintains a Neutral rating. This adjustment is based on CVS’s estimated 2025 earnings per share (EPS) and the company’s potential for future EPS growth, particularly in its Health Care Benefits segment.

CVS Health is also facing a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice over allegations of filling illegal opioid prescriptions, which the company has contested. Simultaneously, CVS has set prices for its $1.7 billion tender offer to repurchase outstanding senior notes, a part of the company’s ongoing debt management strategy.

In the wake of potential legislative changes affecting pharmacy benefit managers, CVS Health, UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH), and Cigna Corp (NYSE:CI). saw their stocks rise as investors reassessed the impact of new healthcare provisions. Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) analyst Ann Hynes highlighted that the new provisions are less stringent than initially feared.

However, these companies also experienced a dip in their stocks following President-elect Donald Trump’s commitment to pharmacy benefit manager reform. Despite this, CVS Health responded by emphasizing its role in making prescription drugs more affordable. These are among the recent developments in the healthcare sector, which investors continue to monitor.
