Where TrendMatrix's rating stands now

TrendMatrix currently rates MCK Sell at 5.2/10; no pre/post engine snapshot brackets this report.

4 of the last 4 quarters beat the estimate; this quarter's +8.6% surprise compares with a +3.6% four-quarter average.

What argues against it

  • Target reached (-16.5% upside)
  • Quality below floor (3.5 < 4.0)
  • Value-trap signals (2/5): Margin compression (op margin 0.8%), Material insider selling (9 sells, 1.98% of cap)

This section and the ones below it reflect TrendMatrix’s latest engine read — they update after the report date and are not frozen to it.

EPS and the estimate come from Yahoo Finance’s earnings calendar, captured around the report date. That EPS is the adjusted figure analysts forecast, so it can differ from the GAAP diluted EPS in the company’s filing, and consensus estimates vary between data providers. Revenue comes from SEC XBRL company facts where available, yfinance-provisional otherwise. Not a buy/sell rating, a price target, or investment advice — see the current verdict on the stock’s main page for TrendMatrix’s live read.
