12. CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS)

CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS) is one of Jim Cramer’s stock calls as he discussed the impact of the Iran war on the markets. A caller asked if they should sell, hold, or buy more CVS shares, and here’s what Cramer had to say:

No, no, no. Listen to me, listen to me good. David Joyner’s the real deal. He is creating the national drugstore chain. Now, CVS is real. He’s for real [buy, buy, buy].

CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS) provides healthcare solutions through insurance, pharmacy benefit management, and retail pharmacy services. During the January 8 episode, Cramer mentioned the stock and said that he is “looking for another huge year.” He commented:

The sixth best sector and the only other sector to finish 2025 up double digits was healthcare, which finished up 12.5%. Coming into last year, there was a lot of worry about what the health and human services department might do to the industry under the leadership of RFK Jr. But when the worst of these fears failed to materialize, the healthcare stocks were able to make a big run into the end of the year. Guess what was the best performer? CVS Health, up nearly 77% as the company recovered under new CEO David Joyner, and their top competitor Walgreens, is shutting down a lot of stores. Joyner’s money. I’m looking for another huge year.
