Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) has had a tumultuous time in the market lately. The company reported strong earnings for Q1 2025, exceeding expectations, which resulted in a
stock surge. Despite some market struggles and store closures, the company observed a
27% stock increase, reaching a
20% soar after Q1 2025.
Analyst sentiment toward WBA has been largely bullish while investors have been advised to stay cautious due to looming factors such as the Department of Justice lawsuit over improper opioid dispensing. This has had a significantly negative impact on the WBA's stock, causing it to plummet. The lawsuit, coupled with store closures, has weighed heavily on WBA's shares. Another highlight was the news about WBA selling its shares, namely
Option Care Health and
AmerisourceBergen Corporation which realized $330 million and $1.85 billion in proceeds respectively. Despite the hurdles, including
underperformance in the U.S. retail sector and a dip in the stock price by
73% since 2021, WBA shows signs of resilience with it's 'successful' Boots business in operation.
