Catalyst Health Solutions presents an attractive event-driven opportunity. Catalyst is buying the PBM business of Walgreens and the combined entity should generate at least $3.40 in EPS in 2012. As PBM's have historically traded at PE's of over 20x, its reasonable to project that the stock will reach at least $70, ~30% higher than its current price.
