Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) has entered into a definitive agreement to be
acquired by Sycamore Partners. Following Q2 earnings reports and ongoing class action lawsuits against WBA, investors are wondering if they should buy, hold, or sell their stocks. WBA shares got a hike after the announcement of buyout plans, and the company settled certain future transactions while selling shares of Cencora for $300 million. But, the news of WBA's
$23.7 billion acquisition and the suspension of its quarterly dividend didn't influence the market as expected. Legal risks are reportedly mounting, and the company business is under intense pressure. Despite WBA's economic dip, the firm is taking strategic actions to raise its market profile, mainly through debt reduction plans and high emphasis on sales growth. Meanwhile, WBA is facing scrutiny for Medicaid overbilling claims. The prospect of WBA going private following the Sycamore Partners' buyout deal has prompted market analysts to revise their forecasts. There's a potential three-way split of Walgreens post the buyout. Even though Wall Street analysts have provided diverse opinions on the deal, the investment buzz has managed to make WBA a hot topic in the Stock Exchange.
