Jim Cramer on McKesson Corporation (MCK): ‘Defying Doubters as a Middleman Money Machine'
We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Reveals Trump's Potential Secret Weapon In China Trade Talks & Discusses These 10 Stocks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where McKesson Corporation (NYSE:MCK) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer recently discussed. In a recent appearance on CNBC's Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer discussed the impacts that tariffs have had on businesses. He shared that firms are scrambling to diversify their supply chains from China as higher costs affect business margins. Using the example of the firm known for making Monopoly and Nerf, Cramer commented: 'Well I mean look everybody's scrambling, I know that. . .[toy company's] scrambling everywhere to be able to make it so that a nine dollar toy doesn't cost 19. And I think that our companies are, often, not given the credit that they deserve to be able to get things to move around, pull their weight, do things overseas, David, it's not like they're the only ones, China, that can make this stuff. Cause the stuff is not like, it's not like making a Grace Blackwell GB200 NVIDIA chip.' One material that's caught Cramer's attention is ethane. He believes that ethane's role in the plastics supply chain and the fact that China can't make it can enable the material to play a key role in President Trump's trade talks. Cramer commented: 'We have to focus on this ethylene, because it's the one thing that they're panicked on in China. They're not panicked on copper, they're panicked that they're not getting ethane, which makes ethylene, which makes plastic. Because boy do they ever make make plastic.' In fact, Cramer went as far as to 'advise' the President and his team to leverage US ethane production against China: 'But the building block of all that stuff is Louisiana, ethane. If the President and Navarros and these trade guys were to say, you know what guys, we saw that you wouldn't tariff ethane, cause you need it so bad, we're done, we're gonna ship it to Korea. Then see what happens. That's what they should do. That's like, free advice there.' As for the car industry, Cramer believes that Trump's advisor Peter Navarro won't be satisfied even if some car companies build their assembly plans in America. 'Peter Navarro would say over and over, we need the engines made we don't want the assembly,' he believes.

McKesson Corporation (NYSE:MCK) is favoured by institutional owners who hold 88% of the company
Institutions' substantial holdings in McKesson implies that they have significant influence over the company's share price 50% of the business is held by the top 23 shareholders Using data from analyst forecasts alongside ownership research, one can better assess the future performance of a company AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. To get a sense of who is truly in control of McKesson Corporation (NYSE:MCK), it is important to understand the ownership structure of the business. The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 88% to be precise, is institutions. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk). Given the vast amount of money and research capacities at their disposal, institutional ownership tends to carry a lot of weight, especially with individual investors. Therefore, a good portion of institutional money invested in the company is usually a huge vote of confidence on its future. Let's delve deeper into each type of owner of McKesson, beginning with the chart below. Check out our latest analysis for McKesson Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices. As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in McKesson. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see McKesson's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story. Institutional investors own over 50% of the company, so together than can probably strongly influence board decisions. Hedge funds don't have many shares in McKesson. The company's largest shareholder is The Vanguard Group, Inc., with ownership of 9.5%. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 7.3% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 4.6% by the third-largest shareholder. A closer look at our ownership figures suggests that the top 23 shareholders have a combined ownership of 50% implying that no single shareholder has a majority. Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. There are a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future. The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO. Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group. Our information suggests that McKesson Corporation insiders own under 1% of the company. As it is a large company, we'd only expect insiders to own a small percentage of it. But it's worth noting that they own US$65m worth of shares. Arguably recent buying and selling is just as important to consider. You can click here to see if insiders have been buying or selling. The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 11% stake in McKesson. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run. I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 2 warning signs for McKesson (1 is concerning) that you should be aware of. But ultimately it is the future, not the past, that will determine how well the owners of this business will do. Therefore we think it advisable to take a look at this free report showing whether analysts are predicting a brighter future.
