Moody’s revised CVS Health’s credit outlook from stable to positive while affirming its Baa3 senior unsecured rating. The revised outlook reflects progress in the health-insurance turnaround, membership adjustments, pricing changes, and declining financial leverage. CVS’s improved operating performance and increased operating-cash-flow guidance to at least $11.5 billion support liquidity and deleveraging capacity.
