Cardinal Health Provides Preliminary FY26 Guidance With Non-GAAP EPS Of $9.10-$9.30, Adj. FCF Of $2.75B-$3.25B, Capital Expenditures ~$600M, Sees Segment Revenue Growth Across Key Divisions; Updates Long-Term Targets Through 2028 Including 12% - 14% EPS CAGR And Revenue Growth Across Key Divisions

BofA Securities analyst Allen Lutz reiterated the Buy rating on Cardinal Health, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAH#NYSE">CAH</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CAH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $165 to $170.</a>
Lutz noted that Cardinal Health is set to host its investor day in New York on June 12, where the company will offer an updated business outlook compared to its last investor event two years ago.
With strong performance over the past two years and favorable industry dynamics—such as rising utilization and IRA-driven out-of-pocket cost changes—expectations are elevated.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45865665/trumps-inflation-honeymoon-may-be-over" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump&#8217;s Inflation Honeymoon May Be Over</a>
Lutz anticipates that the company will lay out a roadmap toward sustained double-digit EPS growth and may also revise its Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions EBIT growth outlook upward.
Additionally, management is expected to share updates on its recent investments in specialty areas, including Specialty Networks and its MSO platform, and provide insight into future growth prospects and consolidation opportunities.
Lutz projects Cardinal Health to lift its long-term Pharmaceutical EBIT growth target from the current 4–6% range to 5–7% or possibly 5–8%, supported by both favorable industry conditions and internal execution. While investors have historically viewed Cardinal's pharma growth as lagging behind peers like McKesson (6–8% target) and Cencora (5–8% target), those views may be outdated.
According to Lutz, Cardinal's prior scale disadvantage in specialty is diminishing, and its relatively smaller size means that recent M&amp;A activity could have a more significant growth impact compared to larger competitors.
Lutz projects Cardinal Health to offer an updated perspective on the growth path of its Global Medical Products and Distribution segment during the investor day, including steps taken to offset tariff impacts, momentum in its branded product portfolio, evolving demand trends, and its position relative to competitors.
Growth in the company's Other segment has also been solid, and Lutz sees potential for sustained high-single-digit EBIT growth in that area. Additionally, the analyst anticipates Cardinal Health will continue maintaining a balanced capital allocation strategy, combining selective acquisitions, share buybacks, and ongoing debt reduction.
Price Action: CAH shares are trading higher by 0.42% to $153.72 at last check Wednesday.

Cardinal Health's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAH#NYSE">CAH</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.33 million shares sold short, which is 2.89% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.32 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748361629_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cardinal Health has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Cardinal Health's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cardinal Health's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.46%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Greene also disclosed buying an additional $1,000 to $15,000 in UnitedHealth stock on May 16. The Congresswoman also disclosed buying $100,000 to $250,000 in US Treasury Bills on May 16.
Greene has bought $2.82 million in stocks in 2025 according to <a href="https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Marjorie%20Taylor%20Greene-G000596">data </a>from Quiver Quantitative with only $75,000 in stock sales. The Congresswoman bought $3.89 million in stocks in 2024 with $65,000 in sales.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman&#8217;s past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene's past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Bitcoin ETF&nbsp;</a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President&nbsp;Donald Trump.
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;brushed aside the criticism.</a>
"I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades," Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared&nbsp;</a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
"I don't place my buys and sells,&#8221; Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. "He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that's what anybody that has financial sense does.&#8221;
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn't a secret.
Sen.&nbsp;Josh Hawley&nbsp;(R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House&nbsp;Nancy Pelosi&nbsp;(D-Calif.). &nbsp;
"Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents," Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. "Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public."
Hawley said the bill will help "restore Americans' trust in our nation's legislative body."
Hawley's bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
"Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it," Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it's important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Goes Stock Shopping Again: Here Are 50+ Stocks The Congresswoman Bought

<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/05/05/trump-presidency-news/#link-ACU42F27X5AMNOGEOOY7YDJOFE">https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/05/05/trump-presidency-news/#link-ACU42F27X5AMNOGEOOY7YDJOFE</a>
President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Monday to streamline regulations surrounding pharmaceutical manufacturing in the United States, according to two White House officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe plans that have not been made public.
The order to incentivize domestic drug manufacturing comes ahead of possible <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/04/10/tariffs-pharmaceuticals-us-drugs-cost/">tariffs on pharmaceuticals</a> — a policy that's on hold, for now, pending an investigation by the Commerce Department to determine whether importing pharmaceuticals is a threat to national security. That Section 232 investigation could be completed this summer, one of the officials said Monday.
But regardless of whether the Trump administration puts tariffs on prescription drugs, Monday's executive order seeks to incentivize more domestic manufacturing of medications.
