McKesson is engaged in healthcare services. Co. operates its business in four reportable segments: U.S. Pharmaceutical, which distributes branded, generic, specialty, biosimilar and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs, and other healthcare-related products; Prescription Technology Solutions, which provides prescription price transparency, benefit insight, dispensing support services, third-party logistics, and wholesale distribution support; Medical-Surgical Solutions, which provides medical-surgical supply distribution, logistics, and other services to healthcare providers; and International, which provides distribution and services to wholesale, institutional, and retail customers. The McKesson YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the McKesson YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether McKesson YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the MCK YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
