Over on CAPS, some 96% of the 462 members who have rated McKesson believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include BMunkers and adavisclan.

Just two days ago, BMunkers touched on some firsthand dealings with the drug dealer:

[McKesson] is doing a good job expanding their business services to clients across the country. I currently work at a payer system where we utilize many of their software products. If we see universal health care, [McKesson] will still be a major provider for the services that the payers, government or private, need.

In an earlier pitch, adavisclan expands on the supertrend moving in McKesson's direction:

The health care distribution sector is likely to continue growing with the aging population. Should national health care become a reality more people will have access to distributors such as McKesson. They continue to generate and grow their free cash flow (which I believe is the life blood of any company) allowing for internal capital funding in these tight times. They have a solid balance sheet which current prices seem to be undervaluing.
