Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Steven Halper initiates coverage on CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) with a Overweight rating and a price target of $96.00.

Halper commented, "CVS is an integrated pharmacy care company with an industry-leading PBM (Caremark) and nationally scaled retail/LTC business. CVS uses a diverse suite of capabilities to innovate across the entire healthcare landscape. The company's acquisition of Aetna (AET, Neutral) underscores this focus. We believe the combination will enable a new model of care, leveraging both the CVS pharmacy assets and AET medical/clinical expertise. The merger should generate significant savings while optimizing consumer engagement. Our DCF-based PT is $96, or about 28% above current levels. While some investor concern regarding future growth still exists, our DCF model assumptions are very conservative. The shares are compelling at current levels despite the uncertainties."
