Is McKesson Corporation under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the McKesson Corporation P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

McKesson Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 28x. In other words, McKesson Corporation's shares trade at around 28x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

McKesson Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.2062. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into McKesson Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

McKesson Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $6.5 billion (£4.9 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of McKesson Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 0.33% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 0.37% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 8.44% of net profits

McKesson Corporation has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.33% of its share value annually.

McKesson Corporation has paid out, on average, around 8.44% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.37% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 0.37% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In McKesson Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about 2.95 per share.

While McKesson Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.

McKesson Corporation's next dividend payout is expected around 1 January 2026. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 30 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
McKesson Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 4 January 1998. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your McKesson Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for McKesson Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted McKesson Corporation's share price.
