CVS Health plans to split into two companies, unwinding its Aetna merger, with details still uncertain.

CVS Health is reportedly considering splitting into two publicly traded companies, separating its retail drugstores from its insurance and pharmacy benefit management units, including Aetna and Caremark. This move could reverse the 2018 Aetna acquisition and respond to political pressures against companies owning multiple drug chain steps. The split, possibly set for 2028, aims to unlock value hidden by the current combined structure but raises questions about debt division, costs, and operational impacts. CVS's upcoming earnings report may provide clarity on the plan and timeline.

CVS Health shares are trading at USD 92.35 with a 1.03% gain as of Nov 04, 2026 18:41 WIB on Pluang. The stock shows strong investor interest, with 91% of orders to buy and a dividend yield of 2.91%.
