CVS Lifts 2025 Outlook, Sets 2026 Targets and Unveils AI Consumer Platform

The company targets a mid-teens adjusted EPS growth rate through 2028, signaling a push to restore margins through efficiency-led technology investments.

Overview

  • CVS now projects at least $400 billion in 2025 revenue and raises adjusted EPS guidance to $6.60–$6.70.
  • For 2026, the company guides to at least $400 billion in revenue and adjusted EPS of $7.00–$7.20, and commits to a mid-teens EPS CAGR through 2028.
  • An AI-native engagement platform anchored in a single app will integrate services across Aetna, CVS Caremark, CVS Pharmacy and selected external partners.
  • Management reports more than $1 billion in savings to fund growth and AI, citing Aetna nurses saving 90 minutes per day, Oak Street AI scribes in 90% of facilities, and Caremark processing 300+ claims per second with 99% first-call resolution.
  • CVS narrows its Medicare Advantage margin goal to roughly 3%–4% due in part to Inflation Reduction Act effects, as shares rose about 2%–3% following the Investor Day updates.
