CVS Health (CVS) popped immediately after reporting fourth-quarter earnings Wednesday before turning lower. Earnings and revenue beat analyst expectations, spurred by strong sales in the pharmacy benefit management business. But the company’s full-year profit forecast fell short of estimates.
I expect the stock to bounce higher in the coming days, so I am recommending we roll our put to avoid being assigned shares and buy ourselves some more time for CVS to move higher.
