What the Analysts think about Cencora

Analyst projections of the future price of Cencora stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Adjusted EPS rose 12.3% in fiscal 2026, and Cencora expects another 8% to 10% increase in fiscal 2027. It also raised its quarterly dividend by 10%, signalling confidence in earnings and cash generation. (Cencora)
Specialty medicines and provider services are becoming a stronger earnings engine: Cencora expects this segment’s operating income to grow 18% to 21% in fiscal 2027. The OneOncology acquisition helped lift gross profit margin in the latest quarter. (Cencora, Reuters)
The planned American Oncology Network acquisition would add more than 350 oncology providers across 21 states, extending Cencora’s physician-led oncology platform. That could broaden its reach in specialty care and support future growth. (Cencora)
Cencora’s fiscal 2027 headline guidance is for adjusted operating income growth of 4% to 6% and EPS growth of 8% to 10%, below its long-term targets. The planned MWI merger and Profarma sale weigh on the reported outlook, though growth looks stronger excluding these portfolio changes. (Cencora)
Price declines on some branded drugs and lower sales to a large mail-order customer have weighed on US distribution growth. Cencora also says GLP-1 medicines carry lower gross margins, so rising sales in that category may add revenue without the same profit contribution. (Cencora)
The OneOncology deal added financing costs: quarterly net interest expense rose by $58.5 million year on year, partly because of debt used to fund the acquisition. Separately, Cencora still carries $4.2 billion of opioid-related liabilities and says losses from matters outside its accrual cannot be estimated. (Cencora, SEC)
