McKesson's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCK#NYSE">MCK</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.13% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.60 million shares sold short, which is 1.26% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.45 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/">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for McKesson has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing McKesson'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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, McKesson's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.21%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning McKesson Stock In The Last 15 Years

Citigroup Maintains Buy on McKesson, Lowers Price Target to $677

BofA Securities predicts that headline risks affecting the Healthcare Tech &amp; Distribution sector in 2024 will likely continue in 2025.
Key areas of concern include pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), retail pharmacies, distributors, fertility benefits, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) pharmacies.
While regulatory pressure on PBMs is expected to persist, the analyst believes this will mainly impact profit margins and growth rates rather than lead to major changes in the business model.
Potential policy shifts under the next administration could involve adjustments to the Inflation Reduction Act, expanded access to health savings accounts (HSAs), and increased support for fertility benefits.
BofA upgraded Cardinal Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAH#NYSE">CAH</a>) from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CAH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neutral to Buy</a>. The analyst notes Cardinal Health&#8217;s core pharmaceutical segment is growing faster than its competitors, with this trend expected to strengthen in the coming year.
Also Raed: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41684029/cardinal-health-raises-2025-profit-outlook-again-helped-by-strong-drug-distribution-business" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardinal Health Raises 2025 Profit Outlook Again, Helped By Strong Drug Distribution Business</a>
The company is benefiting from a unique advantage in its pharmacy benefit management (PBM) business, which could add 2-3 percentage points to earnings per share growth through fiscal 2026.
Despite its stronger growth potential, Cardinal&#8217;s stock is trading at a notable discount compared to McKesson Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCK#NYSE">MCK</a>), but this gap is likely to close or reverse within the next year.
BofA has also upgraded Henry Schein (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSIC#NASDAQ">HSIC</a>) from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HSIC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Underperform to Buy</a> and raised the price target from $69 to $84, recognizing it as a top-tier dental business poised for long-term earnings growth.
The company is recovering from last year&#8217;s cybersecurity incident, which should <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41752173/henry-schein-q3-earnings-sees-recovery-from-cyber-incident-says-dental-equipment-business-shows-sta" rel="noreferrer noopener">boost reported figures</a>.
With these challenges behind it and expectations now more realistic, the analyst writes Henry Schein offers a strong opportunity to benefit from a recovering dental market.
The company could see additional upside in the medium to long term, driven by a shift toward private-label products and a growing focus on specialty services. The analyst notes the price target of $84 is reasonable given its position at a market low.
Price Action: At the last check Tuesday, CAH stock was up 0.61% at $120.36, and HSIC stock was down 0.08% at $71.70.

Wells Fargo Maintains Equal-Weight on McKesson, Raises Price Target to $641

McKesson's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCK#NYSE">MCK</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.26% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.91 million shares sold short, which is 1.47% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.84 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/">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/2024/1734109222_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for McKesson 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 McKesson'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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, McKesson's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.68%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

The U.S. stock market closed at record highs Thursday after the Federal Reserve's widely expected decision to lower interest rates and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference where he reassured markets by dismissing concerns about his potential resignation or removal following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41823887/powell-dismisses-talk-of-resignation-after-trump-victory-says-policy-is-still-res">election of Donald Trump. </a>

Tech stocks outperformed the broader market, with the Nasdaq 100, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), surging 1.5% higher to an all-time high of 21,100 points.

Top-performing sectors in the S&amp;P 500 were technology, up 1.8%, followed by communications services and consumer discretionary, both up by 1.3%. Financials, which rallied the most Wednesday, lagged on Thursday, down 1.5%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Cuts Rates, Powell Dismisses Concerns Over His Future </h3>
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25% to 4.5%-4.75% as expected, a reduction in the pace of easing after the larger 0.5% cut in September.
The Fed recognized robust economic momentum, with the GDP rising by 2.8% in the second quarter, and resilient consumer confidence.
Powell downplayed weak October employment data, noting that near-zero job growth was largely due to temporary factors like strikes and hurricanes rather than underlying economic weakness.
Powell described the rate cut as part of a "further recalibration" of monetary policy, which he emphasized remains "restrictive." He hinted at the possibility of more easing in the future but refrained from signaling a specific rate cut at the December meeting, stressing a data-dependent approach.
When asked if he would resign if requested by Trump, Powell responded firmly, "No," reiterating that the president does not have the legal authority to remove the Fed chair.
Following Powell's comments, market-implied expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut in December surged to 75%, recovering from Wednesday's post-election dip.
Treasury yields pulled back sharply, with the 10-year yield dropping 10 basis points to 4.33%, almost erasing the spike from the previous day.
The U.S. dollar weakened 0.7%, while gold prices, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), rebounded 1.8% after Wednesday&#8217;s 3% slump. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded up by 1% at 4:30 p.m. in New York, hitting a record-high of $76,990 during the session.

Wall Street Hits Record Highs After Powell's Speech, Lifts Magnificent 7 Stocks To $17 Trillion In Historic Trading

After Wednesday&#8217;s &#8220;everything rally&#8221; spurred by the election results, investors took a less euphoric approach on Thursday ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.
The Fed is widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing them to a range of 4.5%-4.75%, following a previous 50-basis-point cut in September.
Yet, all eyes are on Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s comments at 2:30 p.m. ET regarding the potential for future rate hikes and his views on inflation risks. Concerns from the market center on the possibility of a policy U-turn driven by higher fiscal deficits and price pressures from trade tariffs under a Trump administration.
Tech stocks led gains, with the Nasdaq 100 extending its record-breaking levels, surpassing 21,000 points and eyeing a third consecutive positive session. The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones posted more modest gains, while the Russell 2000 paused after Wednesday&#8217;s 5.8% leap.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) remained a top performer among mega-cap stocks, bolstered by expectations of Elon Musk&#8216;s influence in the upcoming administration.
Treasury yields reversed a substantial portion of Wednesday's post-election increase, while the U.S. dollar dipped by 0.7%.
Metal commodities rebounded after Wednesday&#8217;s sharp losses, with gold rising 1.3%, silver up 2% and copper rallying over 4%.
Oil prices strengthened by 1%, with West Texas Intermediate trading around $72 per barrel.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 0.8%, reaching $76,000 to extend its record highs, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) outperformed with a gain of over 4%.
