Abstract
The healthcare industry is one of the most valuable industries in the world, mainly because of the increasing demand for healthcare every day. Healthcare is a basic need, and one cannot live without it, which means it is a never-ending industry. Its value continues to rise every day as people seek out such services. Therefore, this paper chooses McKesson, an excellent enterprise in the healthcare industry, as the research object. An introduction to the topic is provided first, providing a brief overview of the healthcare stock market. A literature review is also provided to provide details of other studies on the same topic. It also determines the methods used to obtain and analyze data; and then specifically analyzes McKesson's cash flow, operating profit, profitability, and other data indicators to judge McKesson's overall operating conditions comprehensively. Finally, McKesson has a steady income stream and strong financials among its healthcare stocks for investors looking for the long term.
