| P/E ratio | The P/E ratio tells analyst how much an investor in common stock pays per dollar of current earnings. | CVS Health Corp. P/E ratio increased from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024 and from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024. |
| P/OP ratio | Because P/E ratio is calculated using net income, the ratio can be sensitive to nonrecurring earnings and capital structure, analysts may use price to operating profit. | CVS Health Corp. P/OP ratio increased from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024 and from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024. |
| P/S ratio | An rationale for the P/S ratio is that sales, as the top line in an income statement, are generally less subject to distortion or manipulation than other fundamentals such as EPS or book value. Sales are also more stable than earnings and never negative. | CVS Health Corp. P/S ratio decreased from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024 but then increased from Q2 2024 to Q3 2024 exceeding Q1 2024 level. |
| P/BV ratio | The P/BV ratio is interpreted as an indicator of market judgment about the relationship between a company required rate of return and its actual rate of return. | CVS Health Corp.
