CVS Health Announces Major Corporate Split into Two Separate Entities by 2028
CVS Health (CVS) has announced plans to undergo a massive corporate restructuring, splitting into two distinct companies expected to complete in the first half of 2028. The transaction is intended to be tax-free for shareholders, who will receive equity in both resulting entities. This move comes as the company seeks to navigate intense competition in retail pharmacy and regulatory pressure facing its pharmacy benefit management (PBM) division. The new structure will separate healthcare solutions from retail operations. One entity, remaining under the name CVS Health, will house Aetna, CVS Caremark, Oak Street Health, and Signify Health. The second entity, named CVS Pharmacy, will manage approximately 9,000 retail locations, MinuteClinic, and the Health100 tech service business. Current CEO David Joyner will lead the healthcare solutions company, while Prem Shah will head the pharmacy division.
