Analysis
McKesson Corporation (MCK) currently trades at $856.69, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $819.31, implying the stock looks roughly 4.4% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, McKesson Corporation generated revenue of $403B at a net margin of 1.2%. Revenue grew 6.0% year over year. Net debt stands at $4.6B. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 22.3. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $604.58 (bear case) to $1,034 (bull case); at $856.69, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 14% below its 52-week high and 35% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at 33% fair-value upside, at -4%, MCK screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 23 models by family
