He is going to continue to Buy more.
One of the three major US drug distributors. Partnered with Walgreens to buy drugs from manufacturers in bulk, then sell to pharmacies and hospitals at profit. Trades at a low multiple.

ABC has the highest exposure among its peers to specialty pharmaceuticals which are growing faster at higher margins. Their contracts are set through 2020. (Analysts' price target $103.87)
