Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA), a leading global pharmacy and retail powerhouse, announced moments of highs and occasional lows, demonstrating a resilient position in the market. Results from its Q2 and Q1 fiscal 2025 were reported alongside a confirmation of the company's plans to go private in a massive $10bn deal with
Sycamore Partners. Despite downsizing trends that saw a fall behind market performance, the company maintains bullish sentiments buoyed by impressive revenue and earnings that beat estimates. Notably, WBA opted to suspend its quarterly dividend, aiming to strategically prioritize financial discipline. Furthermore, the company has been active in selling shares; with a standout transaction being the sale of
Cencora related shares, netting approximately $300 million. Despite a planned take-private deal and investigations into potential securities fraud, WBA's stock is still considered a viable investment. Its strategic debt reduction plan, promising Q1 earning call, and positive outlook despite falling stock offer a strong investment case. To this effect, WBA finalized a $10B deal to go private.
