What Happened?

Shares of healthcare distributor and services company McKesson (NYSE: MCK) jumped 2.7% in the afternoon session after the company inked a deal with Walmart and USAntibiotics, the nation's only manufacturer of amoxicillin. 

Under the agreement, McKesson will serve as the national distributor for the U.S.-made antibiotic, which has recently faced shortages. USAntibiotics expects to produce enough amoxicillin to meet 100% of the nation's demand. This strategic deal positions McKesson at the center of a critical domestic supply chain.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $725.33, up 2.7% from previous close.
