Cencora buys EyeSouth Partners' retina business for $1.1B to expand Retina Consultants of America

Cencora has signed a definitive agreement to acquire EyeSouth Partners' retina business for $1.1 billion. The affiliated retina physicians will join Cencora's Retina Consultants of America, a leading management services organisation. The pharmaceutical solutions company expects the acquisition to be slightly accretive to its adjusted diluted earnings per share in the first twelve months following closure, net of financing costs. The transaction requires regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Cencora's reaffirmed fiscal 2026 financial guidance does not currently include the transaction closing within that fiscal year. BofA Securities served as lead financial advisor to Cencora, whilst Jefferies advised EyeSouth Partners, a portfolio company of Olympus Partners.

Cencora beats profit estimates on specialty drug demand, completes $5B OneOncology acquisition

Cencora beat Wall Street's first-quarter profit estimates on Wednesday, driven by sustained demand for specialty medicines and GLP-1 therapies. The drug distributor reported adjusted earnings of $4.08 per share, exceeding analysts' expectations of $4.04. The company completed its $5 billion acquisition of OneOncology from TPG in December, strengthening its presence in cancer care. It raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted operating income growth forecast to 11.5% to 13.5%, up from 8% to 10% previously. However, quarterly revenue of $85.93 billion fell short of expectations of $86.03 billion, sending shares down 5% in pre-market trading. Sales at its largest unit, US healthcare solutions, rose 5% year-over-year to $76.2 billion, boosted by prescription volumes of weight-loss drugs and specialty medicines.
