On August 23, 2019, Broyhill Asset Management had released its Q2 2019 investor letter. Mckesson Corp (NYSE:MCK) stock has posted a return of 14.4% in the trailing one year period, underperforming the S&P 500 Index which returned 15.5% in the same period. This suggests that the investment firm was wrong in its decision. On a year-to-date basis, Mckesson Corp (NYSE:MCK) stock has risen by 8.0%.
Let’s take a look at comments made by Broyhill Asset Management about Mckesson Corp (NYSE:MCK) stock in the Q2 2019 investor letter.
“As discussed in our year-end letter, shares of McKesson (MCK) have been under pressure because overly pessimistic investors focused on the company’s potential opioid liabilities as well as rising political uncertainty. These risks have certainly not disappeared, but continued earnings growth and free cash flow generation have been enough to convince investors that the sky is not falling, sending shares 22% higher, year to date. Since healthcare stocks are currently trading at historically depressed multiples of depressed earnings, our investments in the industry are already discounting an extremely negative future. As such, any outcome that falls short of a worst-case scenario should drive valuations meaningfully higher.”
