CVS Health hikes 2025 forecast again, boosted by insurance, pharmacy businesses
CVS Health topped Wall Street expectations for the second quarter and hiked its full-year forecast again as the health care giant continued to rally under new management from a forgettable 2024. The health care giant said Thursday it now expects adjusted 2025 earnings to range between 6.30 and 6.40 this year after hiking the forecast to a range of up to 6.20 per share in May. Analysts have forecast annual forecast earnings of 6.12 per share according to the data firm FactSet. In the second quarter CVS Health reported adjusted earnings of 1.81 per share as revenue grew 8 percent to 98.9 billion. Analysts had been looking for earnings of 1.46 per share on 94.51 billion according to the data firm FactSet. CVS Health Corp. based in Woonsocket Rhode Island runs one of the nation's largest drugstore chains and a huge pharmacy benefit management business that operates prescription drug coverage for employers insurers and other big clients. It also covers nearly 27 million people through its Aetna insurance arm. Several health insurance companies have reported disappointing earnings so far for the second quarter in part due to spikes in care use that turned out higher than the companies anticipated when they set rates for the year. CVS Health had its own struggles with rising claims last year when it cut its forecast several times and former CEO Karen Lynch stepped down.

Woonsocket addresses child care crisis with new affordable housing project
WOONSOCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — The apartment above a Woonsocket youth center is being transformed into affordable housing for child care workers. The second floor of the Sayles Street building is in the process of being renovated into four living spaces. Those spaces will each feature a private bedroom and bathroom, and the residents will share a communal kitchen. NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley Executive Director Joe Garlick told 12 News this housing development is unlike anything the city has done before. He said these renovations have been in the works for 30 years. 'It's a small building, but there is some significance here that is well beyond this project,' he said. SEE ALSO: Woonsocket OKs measures addressing homelessness Garlick expects construction to wrap up later this year and applications to open up this fall. 'It's 30-50% of the area-median income,' Garlick said. 'What that translates into is that rent is about $300 to $400 a month.' The renovations are being funded through a housing bond passed by Rhode Island voters in four years ago. Connecting for Children and Families' Erin Spaulding said the goal is to assist these workers with housing and keep them in the industry. 'The more employees we have, the more young people we can serve,' she said. According to a 2023 report by the RI Department of Human Services, nearly 40% of early child care educators make less than $18 an hour. Garlick said he is glad to finally see this project come to fruition. He said that, while he's seeing attitudes changing towards affordable housing in the state, recent cuts to federal funding are creating new obstacles. 'Resources are shrinking,' he said. 'But there seems to be tremendous will on the part of communities to bring in affordable housing.' Download the WPRI 12 and Pinpoint Weather 12 apps to get breaking news and weather alerts.
