CFO Vitalone sells 1,878 MCK shares at $717.91; stock near 52-week high, recent cross-ticker pattern shows poor 90-day timing.
Vitalone Britt J., EVP & CFO, sold 1,878 shares of MCKESSON CORP on 2025-05-28 for $1,348,234.98, reducing holdings by -11.8% to 14,028 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $726.40 (transaction price $717.91), in a quarter where MCK reported $95.3B revenue with +16.2% annual growth and a P/E of 28.59. However, Vitalone's cross-ticker track record across 8 prior open-market sells shows an average 90-day return of +4.8% and a well-timed rate of only 16.67%, indicating that historically his sales have been poorly timed—insiders sold and the stock subsequently rose in the majority of cases. At MCK specifically, his 3 measurable prior sales (2024-05-23, 2024-05-28, 2024-05-29) achieved +8.1%, +6.4%, and +6.2% 30-day returns respectively, with only 1 of 3 showing negative 90-day return (well-timed); the other two resulted in gains. This sale pattern—positioned at price levels near historical highs with a track record of missing subsequent appreciation—merits investor observation rather than immediate concern.
