McKesson Corporation Highlights Strategic Growth Strategies and Unveils Updated Long-term Financial Targets at Investor Day

McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK) will host its 2025 Investor Day today, beginning at 9:30 AM ET. During the event, executive leadership will discuss the company’s multi-year strategic priorities, growth strategies, and long-term business outlook.

The Investor Day event will showcase how McKesson continues to accelerate long-term growth and deliver sustained value creation:

  • Executing strategic priorities: Demonstrating significant progress, focusing on people and culture, strengthening North American Pharmaceutical distribution, modernizing and accelerating the portfolio, and expanding oncology, multispecialty, and biopharma services platforms.
  • Advancing portfolio optimization: Providing an update on portfolio developments, including the Medical-Surgical separation.
  • Reaffirming growth pillars: Highlighting McKesson’s differentiated assets and capabilities across oncology, multispecialty, and biopharma services, positioning the company to lead in high-growth markets and improve patient health outcomes.
  • Introducing a new organizational structure: As announced on September 18, 2025, the new structure reflects McKesson’s sharpened focus on accelerating growth, enhancing transparency, capital allocation and shareholder value creation.
  • Delivering financial updates: Providing a financial overview, updated Fiscal 2026 guidance and a long-term outlook that underscores the company’s commitment to shareholder value creation.
  • Raising guidance: Increasing and narrowing Fiscal 2026 Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance range to $38.05 to $38.55 from the previous range of $37.10 to $37.90.

“Our strong track record and sustained success, built on operational excellence and disciplined execution, positions us well to advance our strategy and deliver meaningful impact across the healthcare ecosystem,” said Brian Tyler, chief executive officer. “As we continue to strengthen our position and accelerate our strategic priorities, we remain focused on driving sustainable growth and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

Fiscal 2026 Outlook

McKesson does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as the company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort. McKesson cannot reasonably forecast LIFO inventory-related adjustments, certain litigation loss and gain contingencies, restructuring, impairment and related charges, and other adjustments, which are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are generally uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.

McKesson is raising and narrowing fiscal 2026 Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share guidance to $38.05 to $38.55 from the previous range of $37.10 to $37.90.

Long-Term Growth Targets

McKesson continues to strengthen its portfolio of differentiated assets and capabilities, advancing health outcomes for all. The company remains well-positioned to capture long-term growth opportunities through disciplined execution of its strategic priorities and sustained operational momentum.

McKesson is updating its long-term growth targets and introducing segment-specific targets for the new reporting structure. McKesson is also updating and increasing its long-term Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share growth target to 13% to 16%, an increase from the prior range of 12% to 14%. This reflects the strength of McKesson’s leading platforms in oncology, multispecialty, and biopharma solutions, supported by operating leverage and efficient capital deployment.

Following the announcement of the updated organizational structure, McKesson is initiating long-term Adjusted Segment Operating Profit growth targets for its newly defined segments, as follows:

 

Long-Term Segment Growth Targets

North American Pharmaceutical

5% to 8%

Oncology & Multispecialty

13% to 16%

Prescription Technology Solutions

10% to 13%

Additional modeling considerations will be provided in the Investor Day presentation.
