Cardinal Health receives a Buy rating, supported by defensive business fundamentals, strong adjusted EPS growth, and strategic expansion into specialty healthcare. CAH's Q3FY26 showed 11% revenue growth and 35% adjusted EPS growth, though GAAP results were pressured by higher costs and special items. Valuation is at a premium with a Forward P/E of 21.64x, justified by improving profitability and cash flow, but future upside depends on sustained margin gains.
