How it trades on rate days

How CVS has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.25 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), CVS Health Corp moved 0.25% on average · correlation 0.07 · higher than 19% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −0.05 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.80% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −0.94% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

What it does
CVS Health runs three linked businesses: a health insurer selling medical, dental and Medicare plans, a pharmacy-benefit manager negotiating drug pricing for employers and health plans, and a retail arm selling prescriptions and consumer health products through its stores and mail order. It is based in the United States and traces back to a retail pharmacy chain that expanded into insurance and drug-benefit management.
Where it sits in the stack
CVS carries no seat in our AI build-out index; it sits in the broader universe as a healthcare-plans name, spanning insurance underwriting, pharmacy-benefit management and retail pharmacy rather than any layer of the compute stack.
Who it is priced against

Why Closelooknet tracks it
CVS is a constituent of the S&P 500 but does not carry a Closelooknet score, and the diary has not yet logged a quote or mention for it.
What the diary watches
The diary watches how the balance shifts between the insurance segment's margins and the pharmacy-benefit and retail segments' volumes, since the three businesses can move against each other.
