UBS Group AG has upgraded its stock rating on American drugstore retailer CVS Health (CVS.US) from "hold" to "buy," and raised its target price from $67 to $79. This target price represents an almost 13% increase from the stock's closing price of $70.17 on Monday. UBS Group AG stated that CVS Health has attractive valuation and good growth prospects. Analyst Kevin Caliendo mentioned that the company has performed well in the past two quarters, and "preliminary signs indicate a smooth recovery in the Healthcare Benefits (HCB) segment." The analyst also praised the company's healthcare insurance discount program. He added, "CVS' benefit cuts and associated utilization assumptions for the HCB plan for this plan year have proved to be accurate (confidence is high given significant progress last year), which gives us confidence in the company's forecasting and management trends."
