The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- CVS closes below its 50-day average ($90.56) while the 50-day is still above the 200-day ($88.89): a pullback inside a longer rise, not yet a downtrend.
- At $81.33, CVS is 26.5% below its 1-year high of $110.68, set on July 22, 2026, and 17.0% above its 1-year low of $69.51 (March 30, 2026).
- Over the past month CVS fell 5.9%, from $86.43 to $81.33.
- CVS trades at 9.4x its last twelve months of earnings and 9.5x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 0.9% lower.
- Its P/E is 58.2% below the 22.6x median of the 3 other healthcare plans companies we track (UNH, ELV, HUM).
- CVS's 30-day volatility, 49.5% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 3.1%.
- The last session traded 2.0x CVS's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- A close back above the 50-day average, $90.56 (+11.4%), restores the uptrend; the 50-day falling 1.9% under the 200-day at $88.89 would make it a downtrend.
- A close above $110.68 (+36.1%) would be a new 1-year high; below $69.51 (−14.5%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for CVS, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under healthcare plans among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
