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)

Ugly stores compared to bright, inviting direct-competitor Walgreens.

As more people need meds, Walgreens will enjoy increased traffic. As it does, people will decide to pick up some of its wide selection of goods.

CVS doesn't seem to care about anything except getting you on your way with a bott...More

This company has been spreading out accross America pushing out stores like Savon & Rite-Aid for a few years now. They haven't overgrown yet. I think this last pull back is a great time to jump in here. Steady growth in rev's, EPS and div's for the next three years and this one goes to $90.

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.
