Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) shareholders have given their overwhelming approval for a transaction with
Sycamore Partners, including an $11.45 cash buyout. Acquisition details are outlined in
WBA SEC Filing - Form SC 13E3/A. The company has reported Q3 results for fiscal 2025 along with quarterly highlights, predicting stronger financials due to the proposed privatization.
Walgreens U.S. retail sales remained weak, but its stock is on the rise due to the Sycamore acquisition. WBA's shares have been sliding yet many speculate it could be a good stock to purchase. Despite facing acquisition and margin pressures, it has navigated through financial woes by early-settling prepaid variable share forward transactions and selling related shares of Cencora for approximately $300 million.
Sycamore Partners $23.7 billion acquisition is touted as shareholders’ best option.
Walgreens has decided to suspend its quarterly dividend as the company focuses on its strategic priorities. An increased stake by Boots Chairman is a clear sign of confidence amidst the $10 billion takeover. Lastly,
Walgreens appoints Jason Stenta as SVP and Chief Commercial Officer, as Walgreens Boots Alliance remains committed to ongoing growth.
