CVS Forecast Reveals Strong 2026 Profit Outlook, Topping Analyst Estimates

On December 9, 2025, CVS Health shared big news for Wall Street. The company said its 2026 profit is set to beat analyst estimates. This was part of a new forecast that surprised many investors. CVS also raised its earnings outlook for 2025 for the third time this year. Strong results have come as it shifts focus to cost control and better returns from its health and pharmacy businesses. This fresh outlook matters because CVS has not always hit expectations in recent years, especially in its insurance and care units.
