On January 25, 2017, McKesson announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter of fiscal year
2017. The Company reported an Adjusted Earnings per diluted share of $3.05, down 4% from the same period in the prior year,
and further reported lower-than-expected North American Pharmaceutical Distribution and Services business unit revenue of $41.7
billion. McKesson informed investors that its disappointing financial results were “a result of the generic pricing actions
[McKesson] began to implement late in our second quarter,” as McKesson’s “prices were ultimately set at a lower level than our
initial expectations that were included in our previous guidance.”
On this news, McKesson’s stock price fell $12.55 per share, or roughly 8.3%, to close at $138.55 per share on
January 26, 2017.
