Model Update

We update our model following Q218 earnings. With the mid-point of FY18 operating profit guidance unchanged, our operating expectations remain broadly the same. Our expectations are in-line with guidance in both segments. While we acknowledge the robust performance in Q2, CVS's growth outlook is predicated on the AET deal. With significant uncertainty still surrounding this transaction, we remain Neutral.
