CVS Caremark Corp (CVS)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company's current operations are grouped into two businesses: Retail Pharmacy and Pharmacy Benefit Management.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

INVESTMENT. I'm long on CVS. Good long term prospects for consumer drugs, escpecially with aging boomers. Recently I divested my holding in WAG and picked up CVS. Caremark gives CVS additional reach and access to lower cost distribution channels (e.g., mail)

This company reminds me of Starbucks, it seems like there is one on every corner. Add in the debt from the Caremark acquisition and I don't see many short term positives here.

Most sophisticated retailer in the Drug COT. Have the ability to target specific group of profitable consumers and drive their loyalty and sales. This ability will help drive vendor dollars to them on the OTC side and combining those abilities with PBM and MinuteClinics will have a similar effect with BTC Drug Cos. Also all their tentacles will have them well positioned for an aging population and future Healthcare changes. They are becoming a Healthcare provider as well as retailer.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
