Walgreens Boots Alliance WBA Embraces Change Amid Market Challenges: Profit Outlook Slashes Amid Debt Concerns
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) is reportedly seeking £7 billion for the sale of Boots UK chain, fanning speculation about potential buyers. Despite this, stock movements have been fluctuating with contrasting reports from analysts. The company announced its Q1 and Q2 2024 earnings amidst market turbulence and disruptive retail headwinds, showing declining earnings. WBA declared a quarterly dividend, successfully attracting the attention of institutional investors. RBC Capital maintained WBA's Sector Perform recommendation, despite some decreases in WBA stock holdings and criticisms from brokerages suggesting to 'Reduce'.

WBA, with new leadership appointments including Lanesha Minnix as Executive Vice President and Global Chief Legal Officer, focused on progressing its healthcare goals. Notably, WBA has launched Gene and Cell services as part of its newly integrated Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy Business. In terms of corporate responsibility, WBA has been recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the fourth consecutive year. However, WBA's use of debt could be deemed risky amidst impairment charges and narrowing profit outlooks thanks to a $5.8B impairment charge related to VillageMD.
