CVS Health Corp. reported better-than-expected earnings in its fourth quarter, helped by growth in its pharmacy services segment.
Shares rose 1.9% to $78.50 during premarket trading Thursday.
The pharmacy operator also forecast adjusted first-quarter earnings of $1.07 to $1.13 a share, in line with analysts' expectations of $1.11 a share, according to Thomson Reuters.
Sales in the pharmacy services segment increased 18% to $31.3 billion, driven by a 24% jump in pharmacy network claims. Sales in CVS's retail segment, meanwhile, rose 4.7% to $20.8 billion.
Reduced traffic caused same-store sales to decline 0.7% compared with a year earlier, while pharmacy same-store sales rose 0.2%, partially offset by recent generic drug introductions hurting sales.
Over all CVS reported a profit of $1.71 billion, or $1.59 a share, up from $1.5 billion, or $1.34, a year earlier. Excluding items such as acquisition-related costs, earnings rose to $1.71 a share from $1.53. Revenue jumped 12% to $45.97 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast earnings of $1.67 on $46.5 billion in revenue.
