Only the forces this data can support honestly are shown; the other three are marked as such rather than guessed.

Cardinal Health Inc's SWOT

Every point below is a fixed rule applied to a metric already shown elsewhere on this page (Market Structure, Profitability, Valuation, Run-Rate, Stock Performance, Quality Breadth) not an independent strategic assessment. A blank quadrant means no rule was met, not that none apply.

Strengths

  • Outperforming the U.S.A. 500 over the trailing 12 months.

Weaknesses

  • Return on equity 74.5 points below the industry aggregate.
  • Latest-quarter revenue run-rate is decelerating (-2.8% annualized vs trailing 12 months).
  • Low relative market share vs the industry leader (0.46x).

Opportunities

  • A meaningful share of tracked competitors (30.00 %) show financial-distress signals, a possible opening to gain share.

Threats

  • Tracked peer group's revenue run-rate is broadly decelerating (-4.7% annualized).

Methodology: mechanical, rule-based SWOT. Each bullet reuses a figure already sourced and cited elsewhere on this page; nothing here is generated narrative or independent analyst judgment.
