Stock quotes in this article: MCK  

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Drug distributor McKesson Corp. raised its fiscal 2010 profit forecast Tuesday after reporting second-quarter results that were better than analysts expected.

The company said it now anticipates a profit of $4.45 to $4.60 per share for the year ending March 31, 2010. That was up from a forecast of $4.15 and $4.30 per share in July. Thomson Reuters says analysts were expecting $4.29 per share on average.

McKesson's estimate excludes an adjustment to its litigation reserves. That adjustment added $20 million to its profit in the fiscal second quarter.

In aftermarket trading, McKesson shares rose 38 cents to $60. The stock fell 80 cents to close at $59.62 in the regular session.
