CVS Health surprised the market by announcing a plan to split into two distinct entities, separating its pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) operations from its retail pharmacy and clinic businesses. This move aims to unlock shareholder value and address regulatory pressures on PBMs. The announcement is a high-significance event for the healthcare sector, likely to trigger M&A interest in the PBM space and create new investment vehicles for pure-play retail pharmacy exposure.
