CVS Annual Meeting Voting Guide for 2026

I hold a small position in CVS. Tiny enough in relation to the rest of my portfolio that, to be frank, the entire company could be liquidated and I could care less. In fact I'd jump for joy.

But because I am a stockholder, I am eligible to vote in the annual meeting.

Here's how I am going to fill out my proxy card:

  1. Directors: Vote against all of them.
  2. Ratify the appointment of independent accounting firm: Vote against (of all questions, this probably matters the least, but voting against this sends a message)
  3. Approve company executive compensation: Vote against (I don't care if they all end up in the poor house)
  4. Approve the company's incentive compensation plan: Vote against (high level types covered by this plan are the ones driving CVS into the ground)
  5. Stockholder proposal to reduce threshold to act by written consent: Vote for (goes against board recommendation, and why would anyone want less say in how CVS is run?)

I hold no equity in those post but my vote is "who cares, what's your point here and how does your little vote do anything besides make you feel like you make a difference"
Downvote please.

@ve Except the problem is that those institutions tend to vote/side with management the majority of the time. Hard to get change when management always wins.

Your vote does make a difference. 80% of CVS stock is owned by institutions.

I just want a board that will want to break up this ridiculous Frankenstein monster of a corporation into 3-4 distinct ones.

I also gave a vote of NO confidence. Hopefully more people follow and do the same. The real problem is that big time investors, and investment firms/mutual funds often side with management in shareholder voting, which is why nothing ever changes.

Small position shareholder here. It’s funny I’m reading this now after I did the same this morning. Having worked for this company for a number of years I hate it and its leadership more than anyone can imagine

@OP 100% Agree with everything you said. Every single shareholder needs to do this. Nothing will change at CVS until people stand up and say enough is enough.
