Investment thesis

Base case
Specialty pharmacy, care services and benefit-management scale can deepen relationships with health-plan clients. The base case remains conditional on pbm policy change staying manageable.
Bull case
Specialty pharmacy, care services and benefit-management scale can deepen relationships with health-plan clients. Growth in complex therapies can increase demand for specialty distribution, pharmacy and adherence services. Strong cash generation can support repurchases and debt reduction when operating targets are met.
