Lawmakers could force the DEA to remove cannabis from the Schedule-1 list, with a 90-day time limit, to allow the FDA to study it for medical value so insurance companies can help patients obtain it at hospitals and pharmacies such as Walgreens, Costco, or CVS provided by existing multi-state operators such as MRMD (Marimed Inc.), CURLF (Curaleaf), TCNNF (Trulieve) and many other multi-state operators.

I dropped CVS and went with a local pharmacy. Very happy to support local.

Lawmakers could order the DEA to take cannabis off Schedule I within 90 days, clearing the way for FDA review and opening the door for insurance-covered access through hospitals and major pharmacies like Walgreens, Costco, and CVS, supplied by existing MSOs such as MRMD, CURLF, TCNNF, and others.

Well if I had to take a wild guess...their sales slumped because they didnt realize just how popular Target is in the black community. I still shop there on occasion because my CVS is inside of my local Target and it's also down the street from my apartment, so i can get some quick shopping done if i dont want to go far from home. Theres one demographic that is noticeably not in the store as much. I can count on my hands and feet how many black people are there...including myself. I personally used to get all of my black haircare products from Target. When they first introduced their black haircare section years ago, I stopped going to beauty supply stores and shopped exclusively at Target. Now, I just buy the products directly from the companies. I used to go in that aisle in Target and see several people there also shopping...now its empty and the products are just sitting there. They really really fucked up.

Growth at a reasonable price is also a key Peter Lynch concept and a companies such as CVS and GOOGL are good examples.

MRMD could push higher with volume and news about Medical Cannabis. Lawmakers could force the DEA to remove cannabis from the Schedule-1 list, with a 90-day time limit, to allow the FDA to study it for medical value so insurance companies can help patients obtain it at hospitals and pharmacies such as Walgreens, Costco, or CVS provided by existing multi-state operators such as MRMD (Marimed Inc.), CURLF (Curaleaf), TCNNF (Trulieve) and many other multi-state operators.

healthcare subsidies, but instead of being used like a gift card in a marketplace website, it is a credit card to use at that same website, and maybe, it will let rich people use the credit card at CVS as well.

My strategy for long-term investing is focusing on utilities (gas, electric and power companies) and low-cost retail with lots of locations (any of the dollar stores, CVS and walgreens). Drive through the smallest towns you can find and look at the stores there, Dollar General and Family Dollar are opening up everywhere. Also utilities companies have consistently strong income days every week from people paying their bills

Jagged_Tide

I saw Michael Burry at a CVS today. He wasn’t buying anything—just pacing in front of the cold-medicine aisle, nodding like he’d solved something. Eventually, he picked up a single bottle of NyQuil, turned it upside down, and whispered, “Liquidity trapped in retail inventory.” I went on with my business and checked out. When I stepped outside, I noticed Burry fixated on the Redbox machine. He looked puzzled, as if he expected it to dispense a low-budget action movie from 2010. Then came the unmistakable clink of the coin return. Burry crouched, retrieved a lone quarter, smiled faintly, and muttered something about a “dividend payout.” When I reached my car, he was already there—inspecting my tires with visible frustration. I asked what he wanted. He said, “What everybody wants: normalized levels of inflation.” See, where we see cough syrup, a Redbox machine, or a tire, Burry sees distorted markets, broken incentives, and opportunity. Truly one of the great minds of our time.

Dispensaries aren't a loophole. They are deliberately regulated by each state, and are operating as the law intended them to. There aren't dispensaries for other drugs because there was never a reason to. It's not like people have been growing xanax in their backyards for centuries. Schedule 3 isn't going to make dispensaries go away. Worst case scenario they will have to compete with pharmacies selling FDA approved extracts, but who knows how long that would take for any products to be approved. I have no fear that pharmacies are going to be selling combustible flower at any point. Can you imagine walking into CVS and it smelling like a dispensary?

Many_Easy

There isn’t really. However, there is still the possibility that future will limit intoxicating hemp availability. I’ve often thought about medical cannabis also being made available at pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens in the future. Because of the uncertainty, I’m playing almost all sides - LPs, MSOs, intoxicating hemp, CBD, regulated flower, beverages, domestic, international, etc Also, pharma, alcohol, and tobacco companies. So many combinations and permutations and other potential variables in this industry. No one knows what happen.

Swiftnice

I didn't have any problems until Riteaid closed down now CVS is fucking me again and there are no independent pharmacies near me.

VolSurfer18

Trump has a history of disagreements with Larry Merlo, former CEO of CVS Health and board of directors at Kenvue. Go have a look 😉

easye_was_murdered

It's not "no news". I believe the catalyst for the recent stock price collapse was coming from CI earnings, where they said they are basically giving up on a lot of PBM margins to avoid political scrutiny. CVS and UNH tanked too given that have PBMs. Further, earnings were confirmed to be shitty too. Decreases in margins, unclear outlook for 2026, etc. Management said that EPS growth might not resume double digit growth un 2027. I gave up and walked away with a 10% gain.

GoldenPresidio

There is a bifurcation of consumer brands right now in CPG and foods. People want to either go upmarket (perceived higher end brands) or go downmarket (generics/store brands) The mainstream brands in the middle are getting squeezed. You call them “solid brands” but I mostly see them as brands that don’t have much differentiation from generics going forward. For example I don’t need Tylenol, I can get the CVS brand of the same shit. But there some brands in there that people really prefer- like Huggies vs pampers vs generic

coolelel

Well, to be fair, I never said it's bad technology, just that it's not really as unique as people think and I also stated their strong suits. The consulting side strength is something they have a hand over every other company, especially because their software isn't plug and play, it's custom tailored. When you contract them, they literally fly over engineers to build and tailor what you need. They don't just spin up a stack and leave you to fend for yourself. Besides, building off of open source tools is NOT a bad thing. It's often better than completely building proprietary software from scratch. Every single software out there has open source tooling to some degree. . AWS and Azure partner with EVERYONE. It's literally called AWS marketplace for a reason. I'm just speaking from my background as someone who has directed a lot of stack migrations for some of the companies you've listed. And again, the government connections is their strong suite. Almost all of the companies you listed partnered with Palantir due to their DoD certifications and connections. Even if someone does the exact same thing, due to regulations, you can't just accept any company. Not CVS and Ferrari, but I assume they're more customers using data foundry than partners.

Anteater_Able

Guess we should trust these two random redditors over companies and entities that partnered with Palantir such as... *checks notes* Amazon Web Services. Nvidia. Microsoft Azure. Oracle. Databricks. Snowflake. Booz Allen Hamilton. GDIT. Northrop Grumman. NHS England. BMW. Airbus. CVS. Ferrari. Oh, and Department of Defense Impact Level 6 (IL6) Provisional Authorization (PA). If only they'd all listened to boboshoes and coolelel they could've avoided the smoke and mirrors and been much better off, folks!

obeseoprah

While your anecdote rings true for certain products, the numbers disagree. KVUE’s ROICs have averaged anywhere from 13-15% over the past decade, while their cost of capital averages 7.3%. This puts them well above truly commoditized product makers. They own a product that shares the origin story of the ‘Kleenex effect’ with Band Aid. The name is synonymous with the product. The private labels who compete in Kenvue’s space have no meaningful market share (Great Value, CVS, Walgreens brands) in most products that Kenvue focuses on. Not only do these brands win out on a volume basis, but Kenvue’s brand value allows them to charge a premium for an otherwise commoditized product. I personally don’t own any of the stock, as too much of their traffic comes from the dying drugstores of the US. But if someone likes a 5%+ yield and undervalued company driven down by a deranged crackpot making up conspiracy theories, I’d understand why.

nivek_123k

as someone who has fought major losses with huge risk, sometimes it's better to just walk away. the real question is; how much capital, and has your fundamental bias and understanding on this single asset changed? I have had this happen over the years with dozens of firms losing massive amount of shareholder wealth... CVS, ENPH, AAP, TSLA, BA, oil, gold, and more than I can count... most anything over a long enough time period has and will experience massive price changes. this is the game we play. honestly, if you just don't know what the firm is worth - it's best to just walk away. when I mean walk away, I mean reallocate that capital to something that can return value to you over time... such as a high quality broad market ETF.

Do you genuinely think OpenAIs makes most of its revenue from random laymans paying $20 a month? There's companies who have built their entire backbone off off the API OpenAIs provides that tens of not hundreds of thousands a month. Your $20 is the same as thinking CVS gets most of its revenue from the random chapstick you buy every other week.

Surely this is a ploy to monopolize RX eventually then slowly jack up prices for record profits for all right? Either way. It’s probably long term a good thing assuming the country recovers and someone can then take that infrastructure and make it a low cost meds for all thing. Idk seems like a direct attack on CVS and Walgreens though. 🤷‍♂️

fomoandyoloandnogrow

wtf is this, I thought the government was supposed to stop giving healthcare, why is he getting a online CVS named after him?

2022_bored_panda

Family member works for an independent pharmacy, this may put them out of business. Pharmacies operate on a very thin margin, and reimbursement rates are set by the PBM. They already lose money on many meds because PBMs set reimbursement rates lower than the medication cost. You can't refuse to fill them or you can get dropped from the contract. Im not convinced the PBMs will change the reimbursement rate enough to cover the cost difference. Basically the cost is now doubling and there is no ability to change how much they get paid.  I bought puts on CVS, we will see what happens.

the_cardfather

First of all a lot of Boomers have their wealth tied up in houses that they can't sell because younger people can't afford them and they can't downsize profitably. Secondly they don't just pull this money and it evaporates. They pull it and they spend it. So it moves from whatever long-term investment they've been keeping it in like Chevron or Coca-Cola into another company's revenue line. Walmart Kroger CVS and Healthcare companies. While not all of them have enough liquid assets to stick to 4-5% the market growth would actually outpace those withdrawals in that scenario.

Teralek77

My prep is just building up a cash position. I have had CVS but sold it of recently. Otherwise I am absolutely convinced that my positions are not overvalued and I can keep cool on a market collapse. If that happens I will just buy more of what I am invested in. I am specially bullish on AMZ and TSM so if there is a retraction I will buy more of those. There is no preparation of portfolio. Either you believe on those companies long term or you don't. If you don't then sell, independently of what the market in general does. If you do believe in them, hold them and do not sell, even if there is a total market meltdown.

CVS Health It runs one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers (Caremark), owns a top-tier insurer (Aetna), and controls thousands of retail locations. This three-part ecosystem gives CVS a unique edge: they can lower costs, direct patients smarter, and collect insights no competitor can match. In Q2 2025, CVS reported nearly $99 billion in revenue—up 8% from last year—and earnings that smashed expectations. Management even raised profit guidance for the rest of the year. Investors responded: the stock is up more than 45% in 2025, easily beating rivals and the broader market. The change started when David Joyner took over as CEO in late 2024. Unlike the “growth at any cost” playbook of the past, Joyner is focused on discipline—cutting expenses, exiting volatile markets, and shoring up margins. The result? A steadier, stronger company built for long-term wins. Even after the rebound, CVS trades cheaply compared to peers, with a healthy dividend yield of around 3.8%. Analysts see upside into the $80–$90 range, making the stock one of the few “value plus growth” plays in healthcare. CVS has the scale, leadership, and results to turn its once-messy empire into a healthcare powerhouse. After years of underperformance, the company looks ready to live up to its potential—and that’s why CVS is destined for greatness.
