Quality

47

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 47 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

—

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Favorable

63

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 63 of 100, recorded as favorable. Stored records show 13 consecutive years of dividend payments. Share count has been reduced at about 0.6% a year in the stored window.

What this company does

CVS Health Corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, "CVS Health," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us"), is a leading health solutions company building a world of health around every consumer it serves and connecting care so that it works for people wherever they are. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 9,000 retail locations, more than 1,000 walk-in and primary care medical clinics and a leading pharmacy benefits manager with approximately 87 million plan members and expanding specialty pharmacy solutions. We serve an estimated more than 37 million people through traditional, voluntary and consumer-directed health insurance products and related services, including expanding Medicare Advantage offerings and a leading standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan ("PDP"). We are creating new sources of value through our integrated model allowing us to expand into personalized, technology driven care delivery and health services, increasing access to quality care, delivering better health outcomes and lowering overall health care costs.

The Company has four reportable segments: Health Care Benefits, Health Services, Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness and Corporate/Other.

Our ambition at CVS Health is to be America’s most trusted health care company. Our purpose is to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time. Across our unique collection of businesses, our work is rooted in our values: we care, we innovate with purpose, we are accountable and we prioritize safety and quality. Our strategy is focused on simplifying health care experiences, improving engagement, lowering costs and delivering better health outcomes. We expect to create sustainable shareholder value by delivering best-in-class execution, transforming consumer experiences, being the partner of choice and harnessing enterprise capabilities, enabled by innovation and capital stewardship.

The Health Care Benefits segment operates as one of the nation’s leading diversified health care benefits providers through its Aetna operations, serving an estimated more than 37 million people as of December 31, 2025. The Health Care Benefits segment has the information and resources to help members, in consultation with their health care professionals, make more informed decisions about their health care. The Health Care Benefits segment offers a broad range of traditional, voluntary and consumer-directed health insurance products and related services, including medical, pharmacy, dental and behavioral health plans, medical management capabilities, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, PDPs and Medicaid health care management services. The Health Care Benefits segment’s primary customers, its members, primarily access the segment’s products and services through employer groups, government-sponsored plans or individually. The Health Care Benefits segment also serves customers who purchase products and services that are ancillary to its health insurance products.
