American healthcare company CVS Health Corporation (CVS) runs a drugstore chain with nearly 10,000 locations. The business sells prescription drugs, wellness and healthcare items, cosmetics, and personal care items. Additionally, it provides prescription drug plans, administrative services, Medicaid health care management services, disease management, and related services, pharmacy benefit management (PBM) services, and other services. Through its Aetna division, it offers coverage to more than 25 million people.
First-quarter earnings for CVS Health exceeded expectations as the company’s revenue increased across the board. However, the healthcare behemoth cut its earnings forecast for 2023 after concluding two multibillion-dollar deals that will increase its involvement in healthcare.

CVS reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.20, while analysts’ expectations were at $2.09. The company also reported better-than-expected revenues of $85.28 billion, while expectations were pegged at $80.81 billion.
The healthcare provider reported a profit of $2.14 billion, or $1.65 per share, for the quarter that ended on March 31 as opposed to $2.35 billion, or $1.77 per share, a year earlier. The company reported earnings of $2.20 per share for the period, excluding one-time items.
First quarter overall revenue increased 11% to $85.28 billion, compared to $76.83 billion reported the year ago. The health services division of CVS reported revenue of $44.59 billion, an increase of 12.6% over sales of $39.62 billion during the same period a year ago. A prolonged cough, cold, and flu season contributed to a 3.7% rise in pharmacy claims processed in this division when compared to the first quarter of 2022. Revenue from CVS’ health insurance division was $25.88 billion, up 12% from the prior year.
On March 29, the business finalized the acquisition of Signify Health for just under $8 billion, expanding its range of services to include in-home care. The business completed its $10.6 billion acquisition of Oak Street Health, a provider of senior primary care clinics, on Tuesday.

The deals add to CVS’s current healthcare capabilities, which also include a business that manages prescription coverage, and reflect a deep plunge into the healthcare industry.
On Wednesday CVS Health announced that it now anticipates adjusted earnings of $8.50 to $8.70 per share for the year.
According to CEO Karen Lynch, CVS will concentrate on integrating Signify and Oak Street with its other operations in the near future.
