Summary
This Form 8-K filing by CVS Caremark Corporation on October 1, 2007, primarily serves to announce the reaffirmation of the company's previously issued earnings guidance for both the third quarter ended September 29, 2007, and the full fiscal year ending December 29, 2007. The filing includes a press release dated October 1, 2007, as an exhibit, which contains the details of this reaffirmation. Investors should note that this information is being furnished and not filed, meaning it will not be automatically incorporated into future SEC filings unless explicitly stated.
