CVS Health Corp (CVS)
rose through the 100-day moving average. J.P. Morgan hosted a call with David Joyner, CVS’s President and CEO. Regarding Medicare Advantage, Joyner is focused on the ongoing margin expansion and is encouraged by the trends he has observed so far in 2025. In Health Services, he expects their partnership with Novo Nordisk on GLP-1s to drive 10–15% in cost savings for Caremark customers. JPM estimates this could affect ~30M individuals. Finally, Joyner noted that CVS’s predominantly domestic sourcing in its front-end retail business helps insulate the company from direct tariff impacts.

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (UAL) rose through the 200-day moving average following the announcement of a new interline agreement with JetBlue. The partnership will allow customers to book cross-carrier flights and earn reciprocal rewards through both companies’ respective websites and mobile apps.

Morgan Stanley reiterated their $130 price target (64% upside) and maintained their buy rating.
