Broken: Primary pillar broken — Oncology & Multispecialty segment revenue growth: rev +8.0% vs 20.0% target.
McKesson grows earnings about 13% to 16% yearly. Its Oncology segment revenue rose 31% last year. The company increased share buybacks to $7.7 billion. Profit margins remain stable with steady cash flow.
Growth could slow if acquisitions in Oncology stall. Divestitures may disrupt revenue. Share repurchases might not continue at current levels.
The price is about 21% below our fair value near $1014. Analysts expect 8% revenue growth, while we see stronger EPS growth ahead.
Breaks if: EPS growth falls below 13% YoY next fiscal year
Breaks if: Oncology segment revenue growth falls below 20% YoY next fiscal year
Authorization falls significantly below $7 billion within next year
