Better Buy: CVS Health Corporation vs. Wal-Mart
You might not think of CVS Health Corporation (NYSE: CVS) and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) as rivals, but they are. CVS Health makes nearly one-quarter of total net revenue for its retail/long-term care (LTC) segment from front-store sales, which include the same types of items you'd find at Wal-Mart. And Wal-Mart ranks as the fourth-largest pharmacy retailer in terms of total prescription revenue. The bottom line is that the two companies compete for the same customers.
Wal-Mart is certainly much bigger than CVS Health, though. Its stock has also been the better performer so far in 2017, soaring more than 30% while CVS Health's share price has fallen. But which stock is the better buy now? Here's how CVS Health and Wal-Mart stack up against each other.
