CVS stock price target lowered to $75 from $90 at Raymond James
Analysts at Raymond James lowered their price target on shares of CVS Health Corp. to $75 from $90 on Thursday, citing "the collapse in sentiment for the payor-PBM complex." They maintained their strong buy rating on the stock, saying they "believe the discount is unwarranted," but acknowledging "significant overhangs on the political/headline front that are unlikely to abate in the immediate term." CVS shares have fallen 20% so far this year, and peers Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and Rite Aid Corp. have declined by 19% and 32%, respectively. A recent rout in health stocks comes amid calls for drug price transparency and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders' unveiling of a new "Medicare for All" plan. The SPDR Health Care Select Sector exchange-traded fund has dipped 0.8% in the year to date, severely lagging the S&P 500 , which has gained 15.7%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average , which has gained 13.4%.

There’s a Buy the Dip Opportunity in Walgreens Stock but It Isn’t Now
April started poorly for Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ: WBA). A weak second-quarter earnings report sent Walgreens stock down 12.8% on April 2. With a downtrend very clearly in place, why should investors even consider WBA stock after the plunge?Source: Mike Mozart via FlickrWalgreens reported non-GAAP earnings of $1.64 as revenue grew 4.6% to $34.53 billion. A confluence of negative headwinds hit the company's bottom line. Higher reimbursement pressures, lower generic deflation, lower brand inflation and weak performance from restructuring programs led to the poor results. * 7 Marijuana Companies: Which Pot Stocks Should You Buy? Markets now know why Walgreens, along with CVS (NYSE: CVS) and Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) fell ahead of the results report. Markets even sold off health care plan stocks like Cigna (NYSE: CI) and Humana (NYSE: HUM) in 2019: there are significant market-wide headwinds.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Long-Term Growth and Walgreens StockWalgreens has four strategic priorities aimed at delivering sustainable, long-term growth. It is accelerating the company's digital footprint, transforming its approach to retail, creating neighborhood health destinations, and implementing a revamped cost management program.This jargon on cost reduction will not mean much to the shareholder who just lost 12.8%.To stabilize the business as reimbursement pressures worsen, Walgreens must improve same-store sales. The near-term problems in achieving growth here are the acquired Rite Aid stores. Sales grew 7.3% and organic sales grew 1.6% but adjusted growth profit declined a substantial 3.5% in the quarter. Pharmacy and retail both fell. Gross margin from Pharmacy fell 260 basis points.A 6.8% drop in SG&A spend, along with cost savings initiatives ahead may slow the weakening operating income, which fell 11.9% in the second quarter. Opportunity and Walgreens StockA weaker cough, cold, and flu season added to Walgreens' woes but could create an opportunity for value investors. Since results were so weak, Walgreens could move up from here if management moves swiftly to balance its operating expenses against the higher reimbursement pressure.Digitization will help Walgreens increase its efficiency but it needs more than that. Still, bringing in the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Teams to consolidate its internal digital team under a Chief Digital Officer will improve back-office efficiency.Walgreens restructured management such that there are two teams in development and delivery. One accomplishment is that its 5-star rated app has 55 million downloads. Another is it has 85 million active Balance Rewards members. The drug store clearly has the potential to reach out to its customer base through the mobile app. What is not clear yet is how much more business the app will bring for Walgreens. Near-term OutlookThe weak current third quarter for Walgreens will follow with improvements in Q4. While investors are disturbed by management's realistic goal-setting of mid-to-high single-digit growth, the reset in expectations creates an entry point for value investors.Plus, with the company working to offset the generic impact by 50% - 60%, profit margins may start to stabilize. Overall, it plans to cut costs by $1.5 billion. That is a substantial number and will benefit the company's long-term health.Walgreens will also shift its resources towards growing its Health & Beauty segment where it is confident that it can win an already very attractive business. The Bottom Line on Walgreens StockThe analyst positional changes are mixed. According to Tipranks, one analyst called WBA stock a "sell" while six have a "hold" and two analysts have a "buy." The average price target is $61 a share, which suggests the stock has an upside of 11%.Patient investors may want to wait for the selling-pressure to ease for a few days. Walgreens is already trading at a discount but this could widen. Still, even though drug store stocks are out of favor, Walgreens is the strongest of the available picks.Disclosure: As of this writing, the author did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

5 Top Stock Trades for Friday: CGC, CVS, ICPT, RAD, UNH
Stocks are stagnating lower on Thursday, but aren't declining with any real staying power. As boring as that action can be, investors need to be careful not to overtrade. If need be, walk away from your desk for a while and get some fresh air. Then come back and let's talk about some top stock trades. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 1: Rite AidShares of Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD) are making new lows (what else is new) as the company reported fourth-quarter earnings. RAD missed on earnings and revenue estimates, provided weak guidance and announced 1:20 reverse split.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 7 AI Stocks to Watch with Strong Long-Term Narratives Let's put it this way: A healthy company doesn't reverse split.We've said to avoid RAD stock over and over throughout the years. The company is circling the drain and there's no reason to trade this one when there's so many other options out there. Even shorts can be burned by a temporary squeeze. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 2: CVS HealthA cheap valuation, decent growth and a solid dividend aren't enough to support CVS Health (NYSE:CVS). I highlighted this one as a trade last month before shares promptly jumped about 10%. Since then though, the stock has come back down to this $52 level twice now.If it gets there again, will it hold as support? The chart looks grim and while I was a buyer on the initial test of $52, I'm not now. There's no telling where this will find support if the recent lows give way.On the upside, CVS needs to get above downtrend resistance and the 20-day moving average. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 3: UnitedHealthUnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH) has a similar chart, with downtrend resistance squeezing the share price into repeated support. Uptrend support (purple line) has given way, so it's all up to bulls to step up to the plate between Thursday's lows and $235.A drop below $230 puts UNH in no man's land for the time being. If it holds, see if UNH can get above $246 to $250 on a rally. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 4: Canopy GrowthRemember when we talked about the very slow consolidation in Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) stock a few months ago? We ended up stopping out of this one as uptrend support and the 50-day moving average gave way.It looked like $42 was going to hold up as support, but it wasn't worth the risk to us. As you can see in April though, $42 actually turned into resistance after acting as temporary support.CGC may pull in some buyers near the 200-day, but cannabis stocks like CGC, Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON), Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) and others are under pressure. It's not clear yet whether the 200-day will act as support.If it does, bulls have a clear line in the sand. If not, look for potential short-term support in the $37 to $38 area. Below that and ~$34 is in the cards. Top Stock Trades for Tomorrow 5: Intercept PharmaceuticalsDisappointing late-stage data disappointed investors in Intercept Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ICPT), which is down almost 13% on the day as a result.Prior resistance near $115 did not act as support, as ICPT is knifing through all three major moving averages on Thursday. It's not a good look for bulls. If ICPT can't get back above the 200-day and 50-day moving averages, or if it does temporarily but they turn into resistance, then the stock could be heading lower. * 8 Risky Stocks to Watch as Earnings Season Kicks Off If that's the case, a test of uptrend support is certainly possible, currently about $15 or 14.3% below current levels. If shares bounce from current levels, look for a retest of $115 and see how ICPT does then.Bret Kenwell is the manager and author of Future Blue Chips and is on Twitter @BretKenwell.
