Israel "Izzy" Englander's net worth tops $14 billion. He doesn't need dividend income. It's likely that most of the investors in his Millennium Management hedge fund don't, either. However, Englander doesn't shy away from dividend stocks. His trades in the third quarter of 2024 prove it. The billionaire bought one high-yield dividend stock hand over fist in Q3.Englander's aggressive Q3 buyIf you glance at Englander's purchases for Millennium Management in Q3, you'll probably notice he added significantly to ...

Shares of healthcare giant CVS Health (CVS 1.83%) have been in a free fall this year. The company has failed to impress investors with its earnings numbers and has slashed its guidance multiple times. It has also made a change in CEO recently.However, with so much bearishness priced into its valuation these days and the stock trading at multi-year lows, there is a contrarian case to be made that it may be a potentially undervalued stock to own, if you're willing to buy and hold for the long term. Is CVS sto ...

一、涉及公司 CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS)[1] 二、核心观点与论据 （一）管理层变动与新董事会成员 1. **管理层** - 大卫（David）成为CEO，他自2008年起就被认可，在行业知识和经验方面非常丰富，有望为公司带来积极影响[2][3]。 - 普雷姆（Prem）晋升为总裁，他管理着公司的药房业务（包括零售业务、特殊业务等），在PBM业务方面经验丰富，与大卫合作有望改变行业定价等方面的工作[3][4][5]。 2. **新董事会成员** - 新董事会成员的加入令人期待，格伦维尤（Glenview）是很棒的股东，支持公司战略，公司也期待与他们建设性合作[6]。 （二）成本与趋势相关 1. **2024年成本趋势** - 2024年二季度到三季度成本较高，提到了MLR（Medical Loss Ratio，医疗损失率）为95.5%，其中包含二季度峰值趋势以及三季度的缓和情况[7]。 - 十月数据仍不成熟，与财报电话会议时的初步看法没有实质性差异，9/30储备有净正向发展，部分源于早期服务日期，近期服务日期有压力[8]。 - 2024年全年来看，二季度有负向发展，尤其是医疗保险业务趋势较高，公司对2024年持谨慎态度，这也是未给出全年剩余时间及2025年指引的原因之一[9][10]。 2. **2025年框架思考** - ** Medicaid业务**：200亿美元规模的Medicaid业务有潜在损失点，主要是敏锐度和趋势之间的错位，重新确定后健康个体离开，费率未跟上，2025年初会开始改善，但2025年无法达到目标利润率[14]。 - **个人交易所业务**：目前净收入100亿美元左右，今年可能损失近10亿美元，若2025年不再承担风险调整额外风险，有望改善，业务可能收缩20% - 25%，虽然2025年无法达到零利润，但会有盈利进展，公司会根据情况调整产品或市场[15][16]。 - **医疗保险业务（Medicare）**：若按中个位数计算，今年可能损失35亿美元。2025年有改善因素，如Stars项目价值8亿美元左右，约50万会员寻找新归属，部分会员所在地区没有新产品，部分有新产品但不是目标利润率产品，不过比现有会员情况好，补充福利设置硬上限也有助于改善结果，但趋势和会员组合变化仍是不确定因素[17][18][19][20]。 - **商业风险趋势**：从一季度到二季度商业风险趋势加速了200 - 300个基点，公司已连续6 - 8个季度提价，2025年将缩减商业风险板块成员数，目前十月趋势保持，三季度比二季度略好，但仍需更多改善才对业务前景更放心，公司提价领先于竞争对手（如蓝十字蓝盾协会（Blues）），2025年虽有商业ASC增长和大合同，但也有启动成本[38][39][40][41]。 （三）会员相关 1. **会员混合与市场退出** - 预计总体会员数下降5% - 10%，约450万会员，其中140万是团体成员较稳定，个人和D - SNP成员下降比例更高，目前早期数据显示会在该范围内且可能处于中间位置，会员混合情况与预期略有不同，D - SNP销售有压力但新计划留存假设较好[27]。 2. **新会员与MLR关系** - 以截至三季度（即6月）为完整索赔期来看，新会员的MBR（Medical Benefit Ratio，医疗福利比率）与现有会员相比符合历史情况，新会员中很多是转来的而非新加入医保，带来了现有收入，抵消了部分影响，使得MLR保持一致[31][32]。 3. **会员下降与成本削减** - 对于5% - 10%的会员下降有成本削减计划应对SG&A（销售、一般和管理费用）影响，目前预计会员数在计划范围内，若大幅下降会处理固定成本[35]。 - 公司通过多种地理模型确定会员情况，虽无法明确目前对会员流失的掌握比例，但对新流程和已给出的指引有信心[36][37]。 （四）CostVantage项目与药房业务 1. **项目进展与谈判** - CostVantage项目在药房方面，除两大PBM（药品福利管理公司）外大部分定价已确定，其中一个合同去年12月最后几周才到期，目前与这两大公司的谈判是建设性的，2025年是过渡年[46][47]。 2. **业务模式转变** - 商业业务中90%以上是仿制药配药率，目前在仿药和品牌药上存在亏损，CostVantage模式将使公司在配药上无类型差异，以采购成本加小 markup、管理费或配药费为盈利模式，这对业务基本面是积极的，同时Caremark侧约70%客户实施了TrueCost元素，开始实现端到端透明，2026年将考虑如何与商业客户过渡该模式[48][49][50][51]。 （五）HSS业务 1. **2024年情况与2025年展望** - 2024年失去一个大客户，重新平衡客户保证起步缓慢，导致业务在一季度有不同情况，不过团队后续执行良好，也有特殊业务增长。2025年盈利增长预计在中个位数范围（如5%），公司持谨慎态度，业务中有如Oak Street等方面在2025年有望改善[52][53][54][55]。 三、其他重要内容 1. 在回答问题时，发言人多次强调是前瞻性陈述，提醒参考向美国证券交易委员会（SEC）提交文件中的风险因素[2]。 2. 对于一些未给出确切数据或无法明确回答的情况（如对会员流失的掌握比例等），也进行了合理的解释和说明，体现公司在数据管理和预测方面的谨慎态度[36]。
