AmeriSource Health and Bergen Brunswig. The company is a full service wholesale distributor of pharmaceutical products and related health-care services in the U.S. It operates in two segments: Pharmaceutical Distribution and PharMerica, its international
pharmacy.

In December, the company posted an impressive 18% year-over-year earnings advance, on a somewhat more modest 3.5% sales improvement, with much of the good news attributable to ABC’s two growth drivers, generic drug distribution and its specialty distribution and related services business.

The company finished off the first quarter of fiscal 2009 with roughly $471 million in cash, a rather impressive accomplishment given that it repurchased over $88 million in outstanding stock during the interim. In total, we look for ABC to buy back a total of approximately $350 million of its stock by the end of the current fiscal year.
