Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against CVS Health Corporation (CVS)

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming September 10, 2024 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired CVS Health Corporation (“CVS” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CVS) securities between May 3, 2023 and April 30, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

If you suffered a loss on your CVS investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at www.glancylaw.com/cases/CVS-Health-Corporation-1/. You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at shareholders@glancylaw.com to learn more about your rights.

On August 2, 2023, CVS released its second quarter 2023 financial results, revealing that the Company was revising its diluted earnings-per-share (“EPS”) guidance range to $6.53 to $6.75 from $6.90 to $7.12, stating that operating income had decreased “primarily due to declines in the Health Care Benefits segment.” On this news, CVS’s stock price fell $2.04, or 2.7%, to close at $72.32 per share on August 3, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on November 1, 2023, CVS released its third quarter 2023 financial results and once again reduced its diluted EPS guidance range to $6.37 to $6.61 from $6.53 to $6.75.

Then, on February 7, 2024, CVS released its full year 2023 financial results, stating that, while operating income increased in 2023 compared to 2022, “[t]hese increases in operating income were partially offset by declines in the Health Care Benefits segment.” On this news, CVS’s stock price fell $0.96, or 1.3%, to close at $74.36 per share on February 8, 2024.

Then, on May 1, 2024, CVS released its first quarter 2024 financial results, stating that adjusted earnings for the year would be approximately $7 a share, down from previous expectations of at least $8.30. Additionally, the Company lowered its forecast for cash flow from operations by $1.5 billion. The Company cited increased medical costs in its Medicare insurance business as the cause of the lowered guidance.

On this news, CVS’s stock price fell $11.40, or 16.8%, to close at $56.31 per share on May 1, 2024, thereby injuring investors further.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the forecasts CVS used to determine plan premiums were ineffective at accounting for medical cost trends and health care utilization patterns; (2) as a result, CVS was likely to incur significant expenses to cover cost increases that were not accounted for in the Company’s forecasts and thus not covered by plan premiums; (3) accordingly, CVS had overstated the profitability of its Health Care Benefits segment; (4) contrary to Defendants’ assurances, the revenues generated from the Company’s other primary segments were insufficient to offset the negative financial impact of the increasing expenditures within the Health Care Benefits segment; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
