What the Analysts think about McKesson
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for McKesson stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
McKesson raised its fiscal 2026 profit forecast and beat Wall Street revenue and EPS estimates in Q1, reporting $97.83 billion in revenue (consensus $96.08 billion) and adjusted EPS of $8.26 (consensus $8.15), driven by robust demand for specialty medicines (Reuters).
The company lifted its full-year fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range to $38.05–$38.55, up from $37.10–$37.90, citing strategic emphasis on high-margin oncology and multispecialty segments and raising long-term earnings growth targets to 13%–16% (Reuters).
McKesson’s recent acquisitions have strengthened its specialty and oncology distribution platform, contributing to the segment’s growth and supporting profitability recovery (Reuters).
A June 12, 2025 remittitur in the Baltimore opioid litigation reduced McKesson’s liability to $37 million, but the case remains active and could result in additional damages or a retrial if the city seeks further appeals (SEC 10-Q filing).
McKesson operates with razor-thin profit margins of approximately 1%, leaving its earnings highly sensitive to inflationary cost pressures, reimbursement rate changes, or supply chain disruptions (Barron's).
Trading at around 19 times forward earnings—near the upper end of its historical range—McKesson’s valuation offers limited downside protection and is vulnerable to a multiple contraction if specialty growth expectations are not met (Barron's).
