McKesson Corp (MCK)

CAPS Rating:
****

Providing supply, information and care management products and services designed to reduce costs and improve quality across the healthcare industry.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

MCK is currently trading at a slight discount to its intrinsic value. This is a very safe stock because of the business service MCK provides. Without MCK, the healthcare IT system as we know it would collapse.

MCK= Healthcare IT. Without it we would be in serious trouble. MCK is holding steady and I believe will be one of my best pics. I just wish I had the money I would like to have to invest in MCK right now.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
