Thank you so much for explaining the difference between lease obligations and debt obligations. I would really appreciate these types of tangents in more videos! Great stuff.
You know what else is value Cameron. This video. Great work. Your direct and bottomline way of speaking comes across. Please don't change. You're an IB that does UA-cam as apposed to all these FA hobbyists who are in the UA-cam business. They make shallow content sensationalist videos for clicks. Your content is solid man. Loved it and subscribed to you already.
I need to read through the why here. Haven't had time. Will do an episode.

@@CstewartCFA yes please, do that episode as it seems CVS is getting more cost for insurer (higher cost, less proffit), and debt can be a cost burden in the mid term...
CVS appears to be just what I was looking for. Great price and growth potential. And the dividend date fills a big empty spot in my portfolio. Thanks for the analysis!
Hi and thanks for the video. Thanks for clarifying the meaning of Lease Obligations and Long term Debt. I have never seen it the way you showed it. However it seems that they actually increased the amount of shares in the market in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 and started the repurchases last year. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia.
You should be seeking out things that challenge your convictions, so you know if you have missed something. Unless you want to suffer from confirmation bias.
Hi Cameron, long time viewer and huge admirer of your analysis style. At $58 price, do you still think CVS hold the Trifecta value? Is it possible to do a fresh video on CVS and QCOM?
Cameron, this is funny: I saw you previous video, did my dd and bought position. Today I doubled down and now I see your video. 😊. Thank you for your work!
I want a management team like CVS, shrewdly buying complementary businesses. Using a little debt doesn't bother me. Nice analysis Cameron, can you do any of the homebuilders next? I think mth has lots of room to run still.
Why are you so bullish on MTH? From my rudimentary analysis Lennar seems to be a competitive peer. Can you explain. Your sector conclusion please? Thanks.
@@nonexistent5030 The industry has strong tailwinds. I like both management teams about equal. Growth prospects I feel a company 1/8 size of LEN will grow faster over time. It's easier to move needle of smaller companies.
While you were “meh” on it two years ago, and there is litigation risk, could 3M be worth another video as it hovers around $100 per share? And thank you for all your analyses-I am currently holding CVS and considering purchasing more.
Sure Hope You Are Correct. I Bought Today, On The Selloff 21,625 shares at $70.335 average per share. Yeh, really did spend over 1.5 Million on this today.
Thanks for the video on CVS. Could you do a deeper dive on Tyson food? You analysed it before and did a 'short' on it, so I'm interested to see your projections. Or Foot Locker, that has so much negativity, but I see some value there. Thanks.
I always worry when someone thinks CVS is just a retail operation and Aetna. Both of those segments are nothing compared to the PBM which he never mentions.
It will be interesting to see how the Blue Shield changes plays out over the next year or two. If CVS was a good buy a month ago, it's an even better buy today :)
Thanks for the analysis Cameron. In the case of CVS, I think we also need to take in consideration the recent acquisition of Oak Street Health (May'23). The company has announced the acquisition was partially funded with Debt (around $ 5B) plus existing resources (Cash), which will change some of these ratios. Personally I do not expect CVS to produce that level of cashflow in the sort term, although has a great growth prospects Could your team prepare the analysis of #UPS?
Hi Cameron, Thanks a lot for your clear explanation! This is very useful. Could you please explain me in a new video how to calculate the present intrinsic value using the WACC and the ROIC?
Their operating margin and ROIC seem anemic and decreasing. Also seems to have a lot of debt given that they aren't able to effectively invest in the business. Finally, it seems like they are facing increased competition from e-commerce pharmacies which can operate with higher margins.
This has to do with the way they book their accounting primarily. Youre not entirely wrong but they also report growth investments under SG&A. And growth investments return to you. So in recent years especially their "returns" have declined but their returns as reported on paper neglect to honor their long term growth opportunities. Read your 10ks.
As for your remarks on e-commerce, read their statements on their present and future intended sales of brick and mortar and transition to e-commerce. Due diligence makes money. Superfluous watered down ratio investing misses golden opportunities.
Hi Cam - been your fan since 2019 I think and have watched everyone of your videos. Amazingly, there’s always a new nugget of wisdom or two even after all these many videos. Thank you so much for putting such a stellar effort into educating lay persons like us - love the emphasis, the rigor and of course, the utter humility! The better half now knows not to disturb when she hears the now very familiar voice :)
Cameron - Thank you so much for the quality content you make. I really enjoyed your explanation about how CVS encapsulates each store in its own LLC for rent liability insulation.
Great analysis. Unfortunately, CVS is down b/c of emerging competition, i.e., AMZ, and regulatory pressure to reduce cost of medical care & prescriptions. Additionally, Blue Shield of California intends to expand its pharmacy list, which will reduce CVS’s share of that business. So, the issues surrounding CVS relate to investor uncertainty about the future, not past performance. I’m a holder, mainly b/c of their incredible free cash flows, but I’ve stopped accumulating. If the rest of 2023 turns out okay, I’ll restart buying in 2024. Thanks for the great work👍🏾
Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt 10,898 Repayments of long-term debt (1,787) That's what I see on their latest earnings report from this week. What's your opinion on that Cameron? I don't think that's aligned with your statement about the company acknowledging they have too much debt and also is against the trend of paying down debt...
@Cameron - One puzzle is that even Aetna competitors like Cigna have been avoiding Walgreens, etc and don't use their own ExpressScripts and route both 90-day fills to CVS. and CVSCaremark. THIS IS WEIRD! Does this mean that CVS is buying Cigna and similar insurers' business by underpricing fills? Please clarify.
I don’t know Cameron. This one is a tough one. 1. Its a retail company which already makes it kind of iffy for me. Its also a health company. I tend to avoid the healthcare sector as a whole as its really tough to value. 2. Their revenue growth is currently being fueled by acquisition’s which makes it even more tough. 2/3 of their acquisition’s are not profitable and they paid a boat load of money for those companies. Its a complete gamble whether those acquisition’s will even pay off which makes it even more difficult to value. 3. They have an extremely low ROIC. A high ROIC is a sign that a company has a moat and doesn’t need to put a lot of cash back into the business to make good returns. CVS currently has a ROIC of around 6% which is extremely mediocre. 4. The entire consumer retail pharmacy sector is struggling and has been for awhile. Walgreens is on the decline, Rite Aid is basically on the verge of bankruptcy, and CVS is spending a ton of money to desperately try to recreate the business that nobody knows if its going to pay off. For me this is a pass. As Warren Buffett always said buy a business thats easy to understand. Retail is not my forte and I avoid the health sector all together. On top of it growth being fueled by acquisition’s and massive amounts of money being spent to acquire unprofitable companies is too much. Appreciate the video none the less. Thank you sir ❤️ Edit: I have been doing my own due diligence and decided to enter a small position into it.
The red flag I see is that they have spent $18B buying 2 health care companies early this year. This reversed all the debt paydowns in the past 4 years. Seems that they are on a buying spree, and growing aggressively by acquisitions, not organically. Not all the acquisitions work out in the long term, which presents a significant risk. I sold all my shares.
This is actually an incredibly intelligent diversification of their business. Inflation is wearing at the gross margin of their pharmaceutical sales business. Cogs for pharma is going to continue eating into margins which warrants a business restructure. They are also adding value to consumers/clients by integrating vertically, diving headfirst into the aged care space. With an aging population you want to be able to enhance care provision for that population and leverage that added value to secure enhanced returns to stakeholders and shareholders. This is an extremely attractive competitive move and appears to be ahead of competition when you look at Walgreens or even united Healthcare (although united has an astounding management track record and is beginning to dip their toe into this market, CVS is just more aggressive)
Thank you for the video. If my numbers are right, you get a 10% ROE at CVS…I think that buying the stock at 1x book value you get 10% IRR in the long run, doesn’t seem a great deal to me.
Hi Cam - Great analysis (as usual). Debt is fixed and at reasonable rates versus market (page 152 of 10K). Is there an opportunity for CVS to hold onto that cheap debt and buy back more shares? Thank you for your insight.
with CVS I'm seeing a net profit margin of 1.19%. To me that's a big risk in this business. The money that's left at the end is tiny and with inflation still a thing, can be fluctuating lower even.
You need to start considering free cash flow margin, as that is pure cash margin that is being generated as a percentage of revenue. I would focus on free cashflow margin and price to free cash flow when analyzing CVS since it is a more stable and reliable measure than US GAAP based profit margin and P/E ratios. US GAAP profit includes write-offs and non-recurring items that usually won't show up in free cash flow, which in turn makes it hard to understand how a company is performing each year in comparison to prior years.
Cameron, thanks for all the curriculum that you provide. Can you do $IP analysis? I want to see if my assumptions between $IP and $WRK are the same as yours :)
Great job on the analysis of the fin statements. I had no idea that leases have GAAP rules as you stated. I don't think accounting is so deeply covered in the CFA levels, so I guess you must also have a degree in accounting. ?
Great video. Can you do an update video on Magna International? Sentiment around the auto industry seems to be quite negative. It would be interesting to look at BorgWarner as well. They missed earnings expectations by a cent and the stock collapsed 10 percent today. This is despite them raising guidance for the rest of the year.
Hello Cameron , I'm trying to remember something important you said in one of your video about EBITDA and cash flow moving together in the same way ? and if not it would mean that something it's going on with the accounting right ? Or maybe was it EBITDA and something else ? Thank you
EBITDA (or operating profit) and cash flow from Operations should move in the same direction over time. Not a hard rule but overtime they need to line up.
Wouldn’t touch them as there are superiors retailers out there imho. Costco treats pharmacy department well and CVS controls prices and is predatory. I think Walgreens goes out of business first though. Many Generics at Costco are actually cheaper than using your insurance of any kind at CVS. It’s massively high priced.
Only 1/3 of their revenue is retail pharmacy. They are also 1/3 an insurance company and 1/3 a PBM. Not a worthwhile comparison to Costco. Also, when I want to run in real quick to a pharmacy chain to buy a random OTC drug, the last place I want to go to is Costco and park in a parking lot of 1,000 cars, walk through a mob of shoppers across a massive store to get to their drugs. Costco definitely provides value for retail pharmacy but it's not comparable to CVS's retail.
@@Allen-L-Canadathey are adding businesses with different focus, of course their growth wont be organic. It's that bad? Not at all. This isnt another WBA and some people aren't considering all the new opportunities, that’s the reason others (including myself) are mentioning it is undervalued.
I watched your video twice now. As mentioned in my other comment I love it. As a recommendation I would ask that you factor in the stock's daily ATR value (in %). CVS has an ATR of 1.7% per day. That means in order for it to appreciate significantly it's going to take a while. Are there other stocks with 3-5% ATR per day that pose great value? I know you're long term but many here are not. So if we can overlap on somethings then great. We get a trade (we add our TA work for timing) and you get your investment. Otherwise such stocks are too slow imo. Your call obviously. Peace.
After your video I decided to jump in and analyse the company myself. Here's a few reasons I won't invest: 1. Their margins are very VERY low. Mainly on their main segment. 2. There's a huge chunk of short term obligations that are only payable by selling investory (that seems to be increasing yoy, so not really a good sign) or by getting even more debt. 3. Most of those short term obligations are operational. A lot of accrued expenses and payables. So it's a no go. I didn't even dive deeper. Good luck anyway.
CVS will be around 30 years from now. CVS stock price 30 years from now will not be less than 72 dollars per share. Add-in dividends and it is a no brainer. Yet people are willing to buy truck loads of starbucks which is over priced by 40% 🤣🤣🤣 and a luxury item. Not a necessity to life.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Mrs Maria Reyes.
Hi Cameron, thanks for your wonderful analysis. I think doing a sector analysis will give the audience more insight rather than individual stock pick. like in the case with CVS, with CVS being undervalued, you see valuations of Aetna being free(BOGO). But overall CVS is losing is widespread moat of being its own PMB(CVS also own PBM CVS caremark) because the retail pharmacy in general is losing profitability. Multiple front drug pricing regulations, competition, e-commerce threats and automation does not bode well for the retail pharmacy sector as whole.
Hi there Cameron, I really like your content; it's on point and very informative 🔥🔥. Do you have a biz' mail and are you open for feedback? I just want to share my thoughts regarding on your videos if that's okay with you.
No mention of the Oak street or Signify Health Acquisition??? No mention of the 7 Billion payout to the govt. last year for the US opioid settlement?? Dude, I love your channel, but your analysis is 4 hours old and already outdated.
The red flag I see is that they have spent $18B buying 2 health care companies early this year. This reversed all the debt paydowns in the past 4 years. Seems that they are on a buying spree, and growing aggressively by acquisitions, not organically. Not all the acquisitions work out in the long term, which presents a significant risk.
@@Allen-L-Canada Well said! Everything you mentioned is the reason for the share price declines. I bought 1000 shares and will buy another 1000 if we drop another 10%. Long term, this company is fine, but the next 2-3 years will be rough.
Please make an updated video after the drop to $55
Monster returns over next decade plenty of time for it to recover

This is actually an incredibly intelligent diversification of their business. Inflation is wearing at the gross margin of their pharmaceutical sales business.

2. There's a huge chunk of short term obligations that are only payable by selling investory (that seems to be increasing yoy, so not really a good sign) or by getting even more debt.
3. Most of those short term obligations are operational. A lot of accrued expenses and payables. So it's a no go. I didn't even dive deeper.
Good luck anyway.
CVS will be around 30 years from now. CVS stock price 30 years from now will not be less than 72 dollars per share. Add-in dividends and it is a no brainer. Yet people are willing to buy truck loads of starbucks which is over priced by 40% 🤣🤣🤣 and a luxury item. Not a necessity to life.
Also wouldn’t mind seeing Tyson foods $tsn
Hey Cameron can you do an analysis on PFE Pfizer please.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Mrs Maria Reyes.
I'm surprised you know her. I've been making a lot of profits investing with her for a few months now.
Mrs Reyes changed my life because of the high profits I got from investing with her.
You invest with Mrs Reyes too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I was skeptical at first till I decided to try. Its huge returns is awesome. I can't say much
Is there any risk (beyond the numbers) the market is pricing ?
Hi Cameron, thanks for your wonderful analysis. I think doing a sector analysis will give the audience more insight rather than individual stock pick. like in the case with CVS, with CVS being undervalued, you see valuations of Aetna being free(BOGO). But overall CVS is losing is widespread moat of being its own PMB(CVS also own PBM CVS caremark) because the retail pharmacy in general is losing profitability. Multiple front drug pricing regulations, competition, e-commerce threats and automation does not bode well for the retail pharmacy sector as whole.
Don’t under estimate their infrastructure. Thanks for watching and commenting
bought :))
Love the explanation on the capital leases and debt. Very good video. I appreciate the channel.
Love the content. Thanks Cameron!
THE GOAT!!!
Great job done as always !!
LET'S GET TO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORK
Very thin operating margins though!
Hi there Cameron, I really like your content; it's on point and very informative 🔥🔥. Do you have a biz' mail and are you open for feedback? I just want to share my thoughts regarding on your videos if that's okay with you.
No mention of the Oak street or Signify Health Acquisition??? No mention of the 7 Billion payout to the govt. last year for the US opioid settlement?? Dude, I love your channel, but your analysis is 4 hours old and already outdated.
The red flag I see is that they have spent $18B buying 2 health care companies early this year. This reversed all the debt paydowns in the past 4 years. Seems that they are on a buying spree, and growing aggressively by acquisitions, not organically. Not all the acquisitions work out in the long term, which presents a significant risk.
@@Allen-L-Canada Well said! Everything you mentioned is the reason for the share price declines. I bought 1000 shares and will buy another 1000 if we drop another 10%. Long term, this company is fine, but the next 2-3 years will be rough.
How’s the sale going?
People are losing out not picking this up
Can you do a video in which we could calculate the five key attributes using the free seeking alpha screens?
