CVS Stock: CVS Health Corporation’s (NYSE: CVS) stock has plummeted to $45.24 per share, marking its lowest point in five years—a 54% drop over the past three years. The sharp decline has raised alarms among investors as regulatory scrutiny and market challenges weigh heavily on the company.

Key concerns include increasing legislative pressure on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), which are crucial to CVS’s revenue. Proposed reforms could force the company to restructure its business model within three years, adding uncertainty to its financial outlook.

Leadership changes have also shaken confidence, with the recent departure of CEO Karen Lynch sparking questions about CVS’s strategic direction. Increased competition from Amazon, Walmart, and telehealth providers further adds to the challenges.

Despite these hurdles, analysts highlight CVS’s robust healthcare network and investments in digital health as long-term growth opportunities. However, the immediate outlook remains cautious as market sentiment continues to reflect skepticism.
