CVS Health (CVS) to Acquire TGT Pharmacies for $1.9B; Cowen Reiterates Outperform

Cowen maintains an Outperform rating and $116.00 price target on CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) following CVS's announcement to acquire TGT pharmacies. CVS will acquire more than 1,660 pharmacies across 47 states, for $1.9B.

Analyst Charles Rhyee commented, "We are positive on CVS's agreement to acquire, rebrand and operate TGT pharmacies and clinics as it allows CVS to expand at 1/5 the cost of building the equivalent number of CVS stores. Also, while the deal is expected to be dilutive in the S-T, we think mgmt's accretion ests may prove conservative as we see upside from increased productivity on a per store basis on top of procurement synergies."
