With the stock markets trading near highs again and the start of a lower interest rates cycle, the backdrop for mergers, spin-offs, and acquisitions continues to improve. Elevated stock prices are just as good as currency when trying to acquire another company. The Sept. 24, 2024, announcement that Smartsheet Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/smar#NYSE">SMAR</a>) will be acquired by Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners for $56.50 per share or $8.4 billion is a prime example of the improving backdrop.
Prior to the news, plenty of speculation and rumors were swirling around about the work collaboration software provider. Investors looking for another potential and logical buyout candidate in the healthcare sector can take a close look at Surgery Partners Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sgry#NASDAQ">SGRY</a>).
<h2>The Acute Care Boom Is Real, and Health Insurers Are Scrambling</h2>
The acute care boom has been a growth driver for Surgery Partners, which owns and operates surgical hospitals, centers and ambulatory facilities, providing high-quality care at lower prices than general hospitals. The acute care surge that started in the fall of 2023 shocked health insurers like Humana Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hum#NYSE">HUM</a>), causing them to lower their earnings forecasts for the next two years. There was a significant rise in inpatient utilization from their Medicare Advantage members.
Due to the significantly lower prices, patients and insurance carriers prefer non-emergency procedures to be often handled at these specialized facilities rather than acute care hospitals. Their specialized facilities have lower overhead, more efficiency and less complexity.
Procedures performed at surgical centers can cost 50% less than at a traditional hospital. Many of these facilities have already negotiated rates with the major insurers, resulting in lower out-of-pocket expenses for the patients as well. Due to the lower costs, health insurance companies prefer outpatient surgical centers and ambulatory facilities over hospitals.
<h2>Surgery Partners Raises 2024 Revenue Forecast</h2>
Surgery Partners reported their second-quarter 2024 EPS of 21 cents, beating analyst expectations by a penny. Revenues rose 14.2% YoY to $762.1 million, beating consensus estimates of $735.94 million. The key metrics were strong as same-facility revenues grew 10% YoY, and same-facility cases rose 3.9% YoY. The company raised its full-year 2024 revenue forecast to at least $3.075 billion, beating consensus estimates of $3.06 billion.
<h2>Takeover Speculation Makes Sense for Integrated Health Care Transformation</h2>
Insurance carriers love Surgery Partners so much that there is speculation that UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/unh#NYSE">UNH</a>) may be interested in acquiring them. Private equity firms are also very interested in the nation&#39;s third-largest ambulatory surgical center (ABC) operator. As more insurers evolve into integrated healthcare companies like Kaiser Permanente and as CVS Health Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cvs#NYSE">CVS</a>) did with its acquisition of Aetna Health Insurance, interest in Surgery Partners will continue to grow. Bain Capital is Surgery Partners&#39; largest shareholder, with a 39% stake.
<h2>SGRY Is Forming an Ascending Triangle Breakout </h2>
An ascending triangle pattern is comprised of a flat-top horizontal upper trendline resistance converging with an ascending (rising) lower trendline support to meet at the apex point. The breakout occurs when the stock surges through the upper trendline, and a breakdown occurs when the stock falls below the rising trendline.
<img alt="Surgery Partners SGRY stock chart" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20240924103837_chartq-sgry.jpg" style="height:785px; width:915px" />
SGRY formed the flat-top upper trendline resistance at $33.95 after it deflected two breakout attempts. This pushed shares to the rising lower trendline and indicated growing demand as buyers raised their bids. The anchored daily VWAP support is at $29.15. SGRY continues to move closer to the apex point, where it can break out through the $33.95 upper trendline or fall below the $31.75 lower trendline.
The daily relative strength index (RSI) is stalled at the 58-band. Fibonacci (Fib) pullback support levels are at $31.08, $29.95, $28.35, and $25.78.
Surgery Partners&#39; average consensus price target is $39.86, and its highest analyst price target is $50.00. &nbsp;

Spotlight on CVS Health: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

With the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) taking a scalpel to the pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) of UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), CVS Health Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) and Cigna Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>), investors are left wondering which health giant can best <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care">weather the storm</a>.
The FTC's lawsuit, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/20/ftc-sues-drug-middlemen-for-allegedly-inflating-insulin-prices.html">targeting</a> these companies for allegedly inflating insulin prices, could have a major ripple effect across the healthcare industry—and that means stock volatility. 
So, which stock looks healthier?
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">UnitedHealth Group: Big &amp; Bold, But Under The Microscope</h1>
UnitedHealth Group&#8217;s OptumRx unit is at the heart of the FTC's lawsuit, and while UNH's sheer scale as a global leader in healthcare gives it plenty of muscle, it also makes it a big target. 
Analysts predict a modest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/UNH">2.75% price movement</a> over the next 12 months, with a price target range of $591 to $680. UnitedHealth&#8217;s size could either serve as a shield or an anchor, depending on how the FTC&#8217;s hammer falls. 
For now, it's the heavyweight champ, but will its bulk keep it from dodging regulatory punches?

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">CVS Health: Retail Resilience Or Regulation Roadblock?</h1>
CVS Health, known for its 9,000-plus pharmacy locations and its PBM business Caremark, finds itself in the crosshairs, too.
Its integration with Aetna and recent Oak Street acquisition might help it spread risk, but the complexity of its operations also means more regulatory scrutiny. 
Analysts are predicting a price movement of around 6.36%, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/CVS">12-month target of $63</a>. CVS is a diversified player, but being a jack-of-all-trades could make navigating the regulatory maze even trickier.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Cigna: Niche Focus, Bigger Moves?</h1>
Cigna, meanwhile, might just be the underdog to keep an eye on. Its PBM arm, Express Scripts, is a major player, but Cigna's more focused approach with self-funded plans and key government contracts could help it pivot more easily than its larger rivals. 
Analysts expect a more significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/CI">14.22% price movement</a> for Cigna, with a target range of $400 to $438. Cigna's smaller footprint in the broader health insurance landscape could allow it to sidestep the worst of the regulatory fallout and come out swinging.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Got The Edge?</h1>
In this health stock showdown, the winner depends on how well these companies can adapt to the FTC's increasing scrutiny. 
UnitedHealth's size gives it strength but might make it a bigger target. CVS has a diversified portfolio but faces risks from its complexity. Cigna, while smaller, seems poised for the most price movement and could be the nimblest in dealing with the regulatory headwinds. 
Investors should keep a close eye on how this legal saga unfolds — there's more drama to come!

UnitedHealth Vs. CVS Vs. Cigna: Which Health Stock Will Beat The FTC's Regulatory Heat?

On Friday, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a formal complaint against three major pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)—CVS Health Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) Caremark, Cigna Corp&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) Express Scripts, and UnitedHealth Group Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) Optum—for allegedly engaging in unfair and anti-competitive practices that have inflated the list <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39695378/ftc-investigation-uncovers-anti-competitive-practices-by-handful-of-pharmacy-benefit-managers-includ" rel="noreferrer noopener">price of insulin medications</a>.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/09/ftc-sues-prescription-drug-middlemen-artificially-inflating-insulin-drug-prices" rel="noreferrer noopener">complaint</a> accuses the PBMs of creating a system that benefits them financially by prioritizing drug rebates, forcing patients to pay higher costs for life-saving insulin. These PBMs, referred to as the Big Three, administer around 80% of prescriptions in the U.S.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/38564498/federal-trade-commission-targets-junk-patent-listings-for-diabetes-weight-loss-asthma-drugs-from-" rel="noreferrer noopener">Federal Trade Commission Targets &#8216;Junk Patent Listings&#8217; For Diabetes, Weight Loss, Asthma Drugs From Companies Like Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca</a>.
The FTC claims that the PBMs abused their market power to inflate insulin prices by promoting a rebate system with drug manufacturers.
This system led to the exclusion of lower-priced insulin from formularies, further driving up the cost for vulnerable patients.
The result is higher out-of-pocket expenses for those needing essential diabetes medication.
For example, the list price of Eli Lilly And Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Humalog rose dramatically from $21 in 1999 to over $274 in 2017.
Despite the availability of lower-priced alternatives, PBMs favored higher-priced drugs due to the lucrative rebates they provided.
The FTC is also examining the role of drug manufacturers, including Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), and Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>), in driving up insulin prices, signaling potential further action against these companies.
The rebate-driven system excluded lower-priced insulins and allowed the Big Three PBMs to keep significant revenue in the form of rebates and fees, a strategy that hurt patients while benefiting the PBMs financially.
Vulnerable patients, such as those with high deductibles or coinsurance, bore the brunt of these inflated costs, paying more for their insulin than the overall net cost to insurers.
Price Action: At last check Friday, CVS stock was down 1.61% at $57.49, UNH stock was down 0.29% at $575.39, and CI stock was up 0.07% at $357.52.

US Federal Trade Commission Sues CVS Health, Cigna, UnitedHealth's Pharmacy Benefit Managers For Inflating Insulin Prices

FTC Alleges Pharmacy Benefit Managers Systematically Excluded Cheaper Insulins In Exchange For Expensive, Highly Rebated Alternatives

FTC Sues Units Of CVS Health , Cigna , And UnitedHealth For Allegedly Artificially Inflating Insulin Prices; FTC Case Does Not Name Insulin Drugmakers Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, And Sanofi , But Agency Reserves Right To Sue Later

On Wednesday, Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) has urged a federal appeals court to overturn a $183 million judgment stemming from accusations of defrauding Medicaid.
The case, initiated in 2014, alleges that Eli Lilly underreported drug prices to Medicaid, resulting in smaller rebates owed to the program.
Last week,&nbsp;Walgreens Boots Alliance&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>) agreed to pay $106.8 million to settle allegations that it submitted false claims to government healthcare programs, violating the False Claims Act&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40881893/walgreens-agrees-to-106-8m-settlement-over-alleged-false-billing-claims" rel="noreferrer noopener">and state regulations</a>.
The U.S. pharma giant claims it is being wrongfully held liable despite adhering to its interpretation of Medicaid&#8217;s complex rebate requirements.
The claims also highlight that Eli Lilly failed to disclose price increases billed to distributors, which were not reflected in its Medicaid pricing reports.
Reuters noted that Eli Lilly started reporting price increases after a 2017 rule change, though the company claims it had previously informed regulators about its pricing practices without facing any objections.
In 2022, a U.S. District Judge rejected Eli Lilly&#8217;s motion for summary judgment, ruling that its price statements were misleading and allowing the case to proceed. In May 2023, a jury found Eli Lilly responsible for $61 million in damages, which were tripled to $183 million under the federal False Claims Act.
Most recently, Oak Street Health, a subsidiary of&nbsp;CVS Health&nbsp;Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>), agreed to settle for $60 million following allegations that it violated the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40945496/cvs-subsidiary-oak-street-health-agrees-to-60m-settlement-in-medicare-kickback-violations" rel="noreferrer noopener">False Claims Act</a>.
The&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/oak-street-health-agrees-pay-60m-resolve-alleged-false-claims-act-liability-paying-kickbacks" rel="noreferrer noopener">claims</a> involved paying kickbacks to third-party insurance agents to recruit seniors to its primary care clinics, a practice that led to false Medicare submissions.
The case has garnered attention from major business groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). These organizations argue that upholding the judgment would create uncertainty for regulated companies.
Price Action: LLY stock is trading higher by 1.45% to $928.28 premarket at the last check on Friday.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In On 3 Health Care Stocks With Over 3% Dividend Yields

Wednesday, Oak Street Health, a subsidiary of CVS Health Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>), agreed to settle for $60 million following allegations that it violated the False Claims Act.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/oak-street-health-agrees-pay-60m-resolve-alleged-false-claims-act-liability-paying-kickbacks" rel="noreferrer noopener">claims</a> involved paying kickbacks to third-party insurance agents to recruit seniors to its primary care clinics, a practice that led to false Medicare submissions.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/08/40437498/pharmacy-chains-like-cvs-health-walgreens-boots-alliance-confront-shifting-consumer-habits-and-pro" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pharmacy Chains Like CVS Health, Walgreens Boots Alliance Confront Shifting Consumer Habits And Profit Pressures</a>.
The allegations center around Oak Street Health&#8217;s Client Awareness Program, launched in 2020, which aimed to increase membership through third-party insurance agents.
These agents targeted seniors enrolled or eligible for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, directing them toward Oak Street's services.
In exchange, agents received approximately $200 per referral, incentivizing them to prioritize financial gain over seniors&#8217; best interests.
This behavior violated the Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits offering payment to induce patient referrals under federally funded programs like Medicare.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) claimed that Oak Street Health knowingly submitted false claims to Medicare between September 2020 and December 2022 due to these illegal kickbacks.
"Health care providers that attempt to profit from kickbacks will be held accountable," said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the Justice Department&#8217;s Civil Division. "We are committed to rooting out illegal practices committed by Medicare Advantage providers, insurance agents and brokers that undermine the interests of federal health care programs and the patients they serve."
Additionally, the settlement resolves claims brought under the whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act by Joseph Stinson. Stinson will receive $9.9 million as part of the settlement.
Last week, Walgreens Boots Alliance&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>)&nbsp;agreed to pay $106.8 million to settle allegations that it submitted false claims to government healthcare programs, violating the False Claims Act&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40881893/walgreens-agrees-to-106-8m-settlement-over-alleged-false-billing-claims" rel="noreferrer noopener">and state regulations</a>.
Price Action: CVS stock is up 0.27% at $58.58 at the last check Thursday.

CVS Subsidiary Oak Street Health Agrees to $60M Settlement in Medicare Kickback Violations

Oak Street Health, Subsidiary Of CVS Health, Agrees To Pay $60M To Settle Alleged False Claims Act Violations For Paying Kickbacks To Insurance Agent

On Friday, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>) agreed to pay $106.8 million to settle allegations that it submitted false claims to government healthcare programs, violating the False Claims Act <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care">and state regulations.</a>
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/walgreens-agrees-pay-1068m-resolve-allegations-it-billed-government-prescriptions-never" rel="noreferrer noopener">settlement</a> resolves accusations that the pharmacy chain billed Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health programs for processed prescriptions but never actually dispensed to beneficiaries.

The alleged fraudulent activity spanned from 2009 to 2020.
The Department of Justice alleges Walgreens collected tens of millions of dollars from the federal government for medications that never reached patients.
As part of the resolution, Walgreens has implemented updates to its electronic pharmacy management system to prevent similar issues from occurring.
Notably, the company received credit for proactively addressing the issue, including self-reporting certain instances and refunding $66.3 million before the settlement.
The settlement also involves significant contributions to individual states, with $14.9 million allocated to Medicaid-participating states. The federal government&#8217;s share of the recovery amounts to $91.9 million.
The settlement covers three cases filed under the qui tam provision of the False Claims Act, allowing private parties to sue on behalf of the government.
Two former Walgreens employees, Steven Turck and Andrew Bustos, were instrumental in these lawsuits. Turck, a former pharmacy manager, will receive $14.9 million, while Bustos, a former district pharmacy supervisor, will be awarded $1.6 million.
In a report, retail pharmacies such as Walgreens Boots Alliance and CVS Health Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) are becoming less convenient for consumers, as reflected in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/08/40437498/pharmacy-chains-like-cvs-health-walgreens-boots-alliance-confront-shifting-consumer-habits-and-pro">numerous customer complaints.</a>
Despite their extensive network of locations, frustrations are mounting due to long wait times for assistance and prescription pickups, highlighting the broader issues facing retail pharmacy chains.
Price Action: WBA stock is down 2.5% at $8.98 at last check Monday.

That doesn't mean that the stock is a buy, it does mean they're going to make it. So, I would say you've got to let it percolate. But it's not anytime soon.&#8221;
The recent $5 billion deal between Volkswagen (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) and U.S. electric vehicle start-up Rivian Automotive has reportedly stirred up discontent among employees at the German automaker's software division Cariad.

PayPal Is A Buy, Jim Cramer Says: As For Rivian? 'Let It Percolate'

UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) reportedly announced on Tuesday that it will remove AbbVie Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) blockbuster drug Humira from some of its preferred reimbursement lists starting January 1, 2025. The company will recommend lower-cost biosimilar versions instead.
This move is part of a larger trend in the U.S. pharmaceutical market, as health plans seek to cut costs by promoting alternatives to high-priced drugs.

Reuters highlights that Amgen Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) Amjevita, managed by its pharmacy benefits unit, Optum Rx, is among the biosimilars covered under UnitedHealth&#8217;s lists for commercial health plans.
With this decision, Optum becomes the last of the three largest U.S. pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to exclude Humira.
Cigna Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) announced last month that it would remove Humira from some of its lists in 2025, following a similar decision by CVS Health Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) Caremark unit in April.
CVS&#8217;s action led to a swift shift, with more patients transitioning to Sandoz Group AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDZNY#OTC">SDZNY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDZXF#OTC">SDZXF</a>) biosimilar version of Humira in just three weeks than in the previous 15 months combined.
Cigna plans to cover biosimilars like Boehringer Ingelheim&#8217;s Cyltezo, Simlandi from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>), and Alvotech&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALVO#NASDAQ">ALVO</a>) products, including an unbranded version of Sandoz&#8217;s Hyrimoz, as replacements for Humira.
UnitedHealth noted that patients would still have access to Humira until the FDA designates the preferred biosimilars as interchangeable with the original drug, per the report. The FDA is expected to make this designation in 2025.
Despite the growing competition, AbbVie has managed to retain a dominant share of the U.S. Humira market throughout 2023. This has been achieved through favorable negotiations with PBMs, even as biosimilar alternatives from companies like Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) entered the market.
As per a Reuters report, Humira has still managed to retain over 80% of its patients even after facing lower-priced rivals in the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/04/38468317/arthritis-patients-cignas-evernorth-to-offer-humira-biosimilar-at-no-out-of-pocket-cost" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. over the past year</a>.

UnitedHealth Follows Competitors, Replaces Humira with Lower-Cost Biosimilars

CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) shares are seeing a sell-off that comes in the wake of the recent Trump-Harris debate, which has created a wave of uncertainty in the healthcare sector. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40817347/donald-trump-lost-debate-to-kamala-harris-will-lose-ground-in-the-polls-polymarket-traders">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Prediction markets, such as Polymarket, show strong support for Harris's performance, with many expecting her to see a polling boost. Early polling data seems to back these predictions, with Harris leading Trump by a significant margin, as noted by a CNN poll conducted by SSRS. While political debates may not always have a direct impact on the stock market, healthcare stocks are particularly sensitive to policy shifts.
As of Wednesday, CVS is trading with a volume of 3.36 million shares and an RSI reading suggesting it's currently neutral between overbought and oversold. Analysts have weighed in with varying opinions, setting an average price target of $64. Recent downgrades from firms like Cantor Fitzgerald, which lowered its rating to Neutral with a new target of $62, reflect concerns over the company's near-term prospects.
What Else: Beyond the broader political context, CVS Health has also seen a surge in options trading activity. A detailed analysis of recent trades shows that 50% of traders are bullish on the stock, while 41% remain bearish. This mixed sentiment has been reflected in the price targets for CVS over the past three months, with trades targeting a range between $30 and $65. Noteworthy recent trades include a bearish put option expiring in January 2025 with a strike price of $55, valued at $440,000, and a bullish call option expiring in the same month with a strike price of $50, valued at $53,500.
CVS Price Action: CVS shares were down by 1.9% at $55.86 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Behind the Scenes of CVS Health's Latest Options Trends

Shares of health insurance companies and providers are trading lower following the Trump-Harris debate.

The City of Baltimore, led by Mayor Brandon M. Scott, reached an $80 million settlement with Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) to resolve claims against the company for its role in the city&#8217;s opioid epidemic.
Under the agreement, Teva will pay an initial $35 million by the end of 2024, with the remaining amount due by July 1, 2025.

The <a target="_blank" href="https://mayor.baltimorecity.gov/news/press-releases/2024-09-09-city-baltimore-reaches-80-million-deal-teva-pharmaceuticals-resolve" rel="noreferrer noopener">settlement</a> is part of Baltimore's broader litigation strategy against opioid manufacturers and distributors.
Previous settlements with AbbVie Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) Allergan, CVS Health Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>), and Cardinal Health Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAH#NYSE">CAH</a>) have brought in $322.5 million in total recoveries.
The ongoing legal battle will proceed to trial on Sept. 16 against the remaining defendants, who were responsible for more than half of the opioids distributed in Baltimore.
Mayor Scott emphasized the city's decision to opt out of the national Teva settlement, which would have yielded only $11 million over 13 years. Instead, the new agreement brings in more than seven times that amount in under a year.
Baltimore secured more than three times the funds it would have received from global settlements.
Baltimore will dedicate $5 million to education and outreach about the 988 crisis helpline, $3 million to the Penn North Recovery Center and $2 million to BMore Power.
Additional funds will be administered following the framework detailed in the executive order to address the ongoing epidemic.
In July, Teva announced topline results from its Phase 3 SPACE study evaluating the efficacy of Ajovy (fremanezumab) for the prevention of episodic migraine in children and adolescent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39843370/tevas-migraine-treatment-found-effective-for-children-as-young-as-6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">patients aged 6-17</a>.
The trial met its primary endpoint with Ajovy achieving a statistically significant superior efficacy over 12 weeks of treatment compared to placebo.
TEVA Price Action: Teva stock is down 1.43% at $17.55 at last check Tuesday.
