Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
Each share of the Company’s outstanding common stock is permitted one vote on proposals presented to stockholders and is entitled to participate equally in any dividends declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
In July 2022, the Company’s quarterly dividend was raised from $0.47 to $0.54 per common share for dividends declared on or after such date by the Board. The Company declared regular cash dividends of $2.09, $1.83, and $1.67 per share for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company anticipates that it will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment and amount of future dividends remain within the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the Company’s future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.
Share Repurchase Plans
The Board has authorized the repurchase of McKesson’s common stock. Stock repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) programs, or by combinations of such methods, any of which may use pre-arranged trading plans that are designed to meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, tax implications, restrictions under the Company’s debt obligations, and other market and economic conditions. During the last three fiscal years, the Company’s share repurchases were transacted through both open market transactions and ASR programs with third-party financial institutions. The ASR programs discussed below were designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c).
