McKesson and Cardinal Health announced an agreement to extend their partnership with CVS through June 2032. McKesson serves CVS mail-order and specialty pharmacies, and Cardinal serves CVS retail pharmacies. Shares for both firms are up a mid-single-digit percentage.
Cardinal Health distributes pharmaceutical products to nearly one third of the industry, leading to substantial negotiation leverage with generic drug manufacturers.
Reimbursement pressures on pharmacy and provider customers have led to an emphasis on cost containment, pressuring Cardinal Health’s profitability.
