Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 6 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, McKesson Corporation ranks 1 of 7. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes. ## How Does McKesson Corporation Compare With Its Peers? | Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **McKesson Corporation (MCK)** | $403 billion FY2026 | 12.4% | 1.5% | 1.2% | | [Cencora (COR)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/cencora/) | $321 billion FY2025 | 9.3% | 0.8% | 0.5% | | [Cardinal Health (CAH)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/cardinal-health/) | $223 billion FY2025 | -1.9% | 1.0% | 0.7% | | [Nu Skin Enterprises Inc.

Select the chart to open it full size.* ## How Does McKesson Corporation Rank Among All SEC Filers in Its Industry Code? 7 companies with annual reports in Swoopr's SEC dataset share SIC code 5122 (Wholesale-Drugs, Proprietaries & Druggists' Sundries), a wider group than the S&P 500 Equal Weight companies above. Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars. | Measure | McKesson Corporation | Median of filers | Rank | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Revenue | $403 billion | $1.5 billion | 1 of 7 | | Revenue growth | 12.4% | 9.3% | 3 of 7 | | Operating margin | 1.5% | 0.9% | 2 of 6 | | Net margin | 1.2% | 0.5% | 2 of 7 | A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality. ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value McKesson Corporation reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0000927653-26-000069 for fiscal year 2026). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who are McKesson Corporation's competitors?
