## Resource

CVS Healths Q1 2026 earnings surpass expectations, with total revenues up 6.2% and adjusted EPS beating consensus by nearly 40 cents. Medical benefit ratio crushes forecasts, and Health Services segment sees a smaller-than-expected drop in adjusted operating income. Analysts at Morgan Stanley call it a win for managed care investors, with shares expected to rise after a tough year in healthcare.
