Here is what Cramer said about CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS) in January:

“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.”
