Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$107.29

+14.8% from spot

The Base case represents the modal expected trajectory, delivering our intrinsic Fair value of $107.29 per share. Underwriting discipline drives Health Care Benefits MBR compression, supporting steady operating margin expansion through FY2027. Robust cash flow generation funds consistent debt reduction, steadily lowering financial leverage and driving sustainable earnings expansion.

Consolidated revenue expands steadily at a low-single-digit rate from FY2025 through FY2027.
Operating margin normalizes progressively from FY2025 through FY2026 and FY2027 toward long-term historical levels by FY2030.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share expand consistently across FY2026 and FY2027 as underwriting recovery takes hold.
Operating cash flow remains robust in FY2026, funding substantial annual balance-sheet debt retirement.

Bull20%

Price target

$176.72

+89.1% from spot

In the Bull case, Medicare Advantage repricing exceeds expectations and medical loss ratios drop rapidly below baseline underwriting targets, while Caremark captures significant biosimilar and incretin dispensing volumes. Operating margins rebound toward historical peaks, generating accelerated cash flows that enable complete debt repayment ahead of schedule and substantial share repurchases.

Health Care Benefits medical benefit ratio compresses significantly by FY2027 as Medicare Advantage repricing gains compound.
Operating margin expands substantially toward historical peak levels by FY2028, supported by biosimilar adoption and retail pharmacy cost efficiencies.
Consolidated revenue growth accelerates above trend annually, driven by incretin dispensing volume and commercial market share gains.
