Data trap
A roughly 13 percent minority interest in the Medical-Surgical business was sold to Apollo Funds on 2026-06-01, so whatever is eventually distributed will be less than the whole business, and McKesson's consolidated figures now include a minority interest that did not exist before.
Still live.

Notes
Worth noting for anyone building automated ingestion: this announcement lives inside an Item 2.02 earnings 8-K rather than the Item 7.01 or 8.01 filing a separation announcement usually arrives in, so a filter keyed on those items misses the deal entirely. The structure was unknowable from EDGAR for a full year — only the FY2026 10-K says split-off or spin-off or a combination — and no filing has ever stated a timeline. The business was named Wellverse on 2026-08-05.
