In the said letter, Miller Value Partners highlighted a few stocks and CVS Health Corp (NYSE:CVS) is one of them. CVS Health Corp (NYSE:CVS) is a healthcare company. Year-to-date, CVS Health Corp (NYSE:CVS) stock lost 21.8% and on November 2nd it had a closing price of $58.08. Here is what Miller Value Partners said:
“CVS is a name we owned earlier but exited in the COVID hit to deploy funds to names offering more significant near term recovery potential. CVS lagged in the ensuing recovery but we still think it’s an undervalued mix of businesses. If you value you the pieces, a healthcare insurance company, a pharmacy benefits manager, and a retail pharmacy, you get values roughly 50% greater than the current stock price. We think its vertical integration strategy around lowering the cost of healthcare through “Health Hubs” offers you free option value at current prices. We used long-term call options which we thought offered favorable risk-return.”
