CVS Health Corp. (US1266501006) traded at $93.15 after opening on August 31, 2026, with a market value of $119.14 billion. The latest reported quarter, released on August 5, 2026, showed $106.10 billion in revenue and $2.58 in EPS, both above the market's $100.03 billion and $1.87 expectations.
Latest quarter
The same quarter delivered 7.3% year-over-year revenue growth and a net margin of 1.18%. That mix matters because the company also kept full-year 2026 EPS guidance at $7.90 to $8.10, while sell-side analysts have modeled $8.02 for the year.
Recent coverage also pointed to a more constructive stance from the market side, with a consensus target of $107.17 and 22 Buy ratings against two Holds. The gap between the stock's $93.15 opening print and that average target leaves the valuation debate squarely in play.
Market setup
The shares also sit between a 52-week low of $69.51 and a 52-week high of $110.68, which keeps the chart anchored inside a wide trading band. For investors, the key comparison is simple: the stock is still below the consensus target, but the latest quarter already delivered a clear earnings beat.
A separate market-data snapshot put CVS's 1st Jan change at +17.25%, showing that the year has already rewarded holders despite the stock's distance from the recent high.
Investor focus
Aetna, CVS Pharmacy, and MinuteClinic remain the core operating pieces inside the group. In practical terms, the latest quarter's $106.10 billion revenue base and 7.3% year-over-year growth show why the market keeps watching the pharmacy and health-benefits mix together.
Stock view
CVS Health stock opened at $93.15 on August 31, 2026, against a market cap of $119.14 billion and a 52-week range of $69.51 to $110.68.
