CVS plans to break up $117 billion health care conglomerate - Jefferson City News Tribune

CVS Health Announces Major Split

CVS Health announced plans to divide into two separate companies, dividing its pharmacy operations from health insurance. The move is part of a significant restructuring of its $117 billion healthcare empire. The pharmacy division will function separately, potentially allowing more focus on beauty and wellness products. The decision follows news of stock price drops and potential changes in Connecticut. The split is expected to create two distinct entities, each focusing on different aspects of the healthcare industry.
