CVS Health Corporation reports strong first quarter 2026 results and raises full‑year 2026 guidance

First quarter GAAP diluted EPS of $2.30 increased from $1.41 in the prior year. Adjusted EPS of $2.57 increased from $2.25 in the prior year, primarily due to improved adjusted operating income in the Health Care Benefits segment, reflecting continued execution on the Health Care Benefits segment margin recovery plan.

The Company is increasing its full-year 2026 GAAP diluted EPS, Adjusted EPS and cash flow from operations guidance to reflect increases in the Health Care Benefits and Pharmacy & Consumer Wellness segments, while maintaining a cautious view for the remainder of the year in light of continued elevated cost trends and the potential for macro headwinds.
