- Thursday, December 20, 2012, 9:17 AM Shares of Walgreen (WAG) and CVS Caremark (CVS) are on watch after Rite Aid reported its first quarterly profit since 2007. The quick analyst take on the drugstore chain shakeup is that Rite Aid's execution is behind the strong Q3 more than sector strength. Comment! [Consumer]
- Saturday, December 15, 2012, 11:00 AM Laszlo Birinyi is a fan of stocks that go down on what he calls "nonrecurring bad news" (think News Corp.). On that front, one of his favorites now is Walgreen (WAG). Another top pick - Sears Holdings (SHLD) - owns the real estate on which its stores sit, and should benefit from the property recovery. Whose work does he follow? "There are some (WS strategists) I keep an eye on because they are fairly consistently wrong." 10 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Friday, December 14, 2012, 10:04 AM Goldman Sachs weighs in on the pharmacy wars, noting CVS Caremark (CVS +2.2%) still has room to grow based on its "distinctive positioning" in the sector. Despite all the sound and fury from Walgreen (WAG -0.1%) on recapturing its lost customers back, the opposite appears to be the reality as the CVS share in the prescription market rises instead of falls. Comment! [Consumer]
