On August 4, McKesson declined 3.06% in regular trading, trading at $829.19/share, with turnover of $702 million. The company is scheduled to report its fiscal 2027 first-quarter earnings after market close the following day, with consensus estimates calling for adjusted EPS of $9.46.

The cautious sentiment stems from the prior quarter's mixed results. While McKesson's fiscal Q4 adjusted EPS of $11.69 exceeded the $11.56 estimate, revenue of $96.3 billion fell significantly short of the $101.35 billion consensus, creating a roughly $5 billion gap that has left investors wary heading into the new report. The company issued fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS guidance of $43.80 to $44.60, bracketing the Street estimate of $44.09.

On the positive side, Citigroup recently raised its price target to $1,000 from $945 maintaining a Buy rating, and the company announced a 15% quarterly dividend increase to $0.94 per share, marking its 10th consecutive year of dividend growth. The analyst consensus mean target stands at approximately $948.
