Innovation Premium, Volatility Risk
MCK trades on its AI-driven efficiency story, not as a defensive peer. Volatility is high—31.5% over one year—because the market reads every guidance update as an innovation signal. Even a small outlook cut can hit the share price hard. For this premium, the business must keep delivering.
