Movement Alert|McKesson Rises 3.66% in Pre-Market Trading, Q1 Earnings and Revenue Beat Estimates with Full-Year Guidance Raised

Market Focus08-06

On August 6, McKesson rose 3.66% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $908.00/share, with turnover of $311,400.

The movement was driven by the company's fiscal Q1 2027 earnings release after the prior session's close, which delivered a comprehensive beat. Adjusted EPS came in at $9.93, surpassing the consensus estimate of $9.54 by 4.09% and representing a 20.22% year-over-year increase from $8.26. Revenue reached $105.38 billion, exceeding the $103.74 billion estimate. Notably, the prior quarter's revenue of $96.3 billion had significantly missed the $101.35 billion estimate, causing investor concern — this quarter's strong top-line recovery effectively restored market confidence.

Additionally, McKesson raised its fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $44.20–$45.00, up from the prior $43.80–$44.60 range and above the FactSet consensus of $44.26. BofA Securities raised its price target from $950 to $1,050, further reinforcing bullish sentiment following Citigroup's earlier target increase to $1,000.
