CVS Health (CVS) stock tumbled about 5% in Friday after the pharmacy and healthcare giant announced the replacement of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Karen Lynch with David Joyner, a longtime company veteran who most recently ran Caremark, its pharmacy benefit manager (PBM).
Joyner is taking the top job effective immediately, CVS said, as the company has weathered a difficult year of sales at its namesake pharmacies and problems with its bets on Medicare coverage that have led it to lower its full-year outlook several times already.
Newly appointed executive chairman Roger Farah said the board believes it was "the right time to make a change," and said Joyner's decades of experience with CVS "can help us more directly address the challenges our industry faces" and make necessary changes.
In addition to the CEO swap, CVS also provided preliminary guidance for third-quarter profit, projecting earnings per share (EPS) between 3 cents and 8 cents, and adjusted EPS of $1.05 to $1.10. Analysts are expecting EPS of $1.27, and adjusted EPS of $1.69, according to consensus estimates compiled by Visible Alpha.
The company is set to report third-quarter earnings Nov. 6, and said the lackluster projections are connected to costs related to its Medicare operations and other one-time expenses like store closures.
first reported the news that the CEO change was imminent, sending CVS stock lower Friday morning. The stock is down more than 20% this year.

Netflix (NFLX) shares surged to a record high Friday, a day after the streaming giant’s third-quarter earnings beat expectations, with several analysts raising their price targets for the stock.
Bank of America boosted its price target to $800 from $740, calling Netflix “one of the best positioned companies within media,” with multiple growth drivers including its “burgeoning ad business.” Netflix’s ad-supported membership grew 35% quarter-over-quarter, and the company said it expects to launch an ad tech platform in 2025.
Analysts at JPMorgan lifted their price target even higher, to $850 from $750, and called Netflix a "top pick," citing its "strong leadership position" with a “virtuous circle of strong subscriber growth, more revenue, and growing profit.”
Including Bank of America, about three-quarters of the 20 analysts covering Netflix tracked by Visible Alpha held a "buy" or equivalent rating for the stock as of Friday, though their average price target at $777.21 was not far off from Friday's closing price.
Shares of Netflix jumped over 11% to close at $763.89 Friday and have gained nearly 57% since the start of the year.
Netflix's gains came despite some programming challenges, calling it “patchier than normal,” due to the lingering impacts of actors and writers strikes in 2023, and said “volume has picked up again.”
Netflix said it delivered several hits in the quarter, with “The Perfect Couple” starring Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber drawing 65.2 million views, while romantic comedy “Nobody Wants This" with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody drew 37 million.
