Why CVS Stock Skyrocketed on Wednesday
One of the healthier stocks in the healthcare sector on Wednesday was its retail king, CVS Health (NYSE: CVS). The company took the wraps off its first-quarter results, and investors were heartened by its performance. On the back of twin beats on key fundamentals, market players pushed CVS stock up by nearly 8% that trading day.
CVS reached nine-figure territory with that quarter's revenue, which came in slightly over $100 billion. That represented a year-over-year improvement of 6% -- fairly robust for a company as mature as this in the retail space.
