"Our two healthcare companies had a poor quarter (in terms of share price performance, not business fundamentals). McKesson Corporation (NYSE:MCK), the drug distributor (down 12.6%), reported its full year results which were perfectly in-line with our expectations. Management provided strong guidance for its next year's earnings, and reiterated its 13%-16% long term growth expectations. After feeding the numbers through our model, our valuation increased by 18%, and with the share price trading below it, we bought a little more such that it accounts for 6.8% of the Fund."
