Cencora10-Q: Competitor named

Cencora acknowledges shared opioid litigation with its two main national competitors

Read at SEC EDGAR

What happened

The filing discusses a major settlement agreement alongside 'the two other national pharmaceutical distributors,' an industry reference to primary competitors McKesson and Cardinal Health. This shared, multi-billion dollar liability creates pressure for all three to find new avenues for growth and operational efficiency to offset the financial impact.
