CVS Health reported better-than-expected Q1 earnings with adjusted EPS of $2.57, surpassing estimates of $2.20, and sales rising 6.2% to $100.43 billion. The company saw improved operating income driven by its Health Care Benefits segment and lowered its medical benefit ratio, reflecting cost efficiencies.

CVS also raised its 2026 adjusted earnings guidance to $7.30-$7.50 per share and plans to accelerate adoption of lower-cost biosimilars to reduce drug costs further.
