- Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 11:38 AM Are Halloween candy sales at risk of being muted this year? As trick-or-treating gets delayed up and down the Eastern Seaboard the estimated $2.4B boom in candy sales in front of the holiday could come in light this year. Analysts say it won't be candy manufacturers that take the hit with stores already loaded up, but drugstore chains such as Walgreen (WAG), CVS Caremark (CVS), and Rite Aid (RAD) could see a disappointing holiday haul. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 8:23 AM Walgreen (WAG) forms a joint venture with Alliance Boots as part of its strategic partnership to build synergies. The new company will be based out of Switzerland. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, October 29, 2012, 7:57 AM Effect on retail sales from Hurricane Sandy: 1) For supermarket companies and home improvement stores, analysis is clouded by a comparable from last year that includes big sales in front of an East Coast storm. 2) Though analysts see an extra boost at places where consumers prep for the storm, they warn many of these stores will run out of inventory quickly or simply pull sales from November. 3) According to Citi's Oliver Chen, mall-based retailers - including American Eagle Outfitters (AEO), Limited Brands (LTD), and Urban Outfitters (URBN) - could be the hardest hit. 4) Operators such as Domino's (DPZ) and Papa John's (PZZA) are tipped to see a sustained boost in demand. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, October 10, 2012, 12:02 PM Walgreen (WAG) declares $0.275/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 3.09%. For shareholders of record Nov 12. Payable Dec 12. Ex-div date Nov 08. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Wednesday, October 10, 2012, 10:29 AM Another tidbit from Wal-Mart's (WMT +2.8%) investor meeting (webcast): The company plans to have over 240 Neighborhood Market stores in place by the end of FY13, a significant pickup in the pace of growth for the small-sized supermarkets across the landscape. While posing an obvious threat to local and national grocery stores, the initiative could also effect pharmacy sales at Walgreen (WAG +0.1%), CVS Caremark (CVS +0.5%), and Rite Aid (RAD +0.4%) eventually. 4 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, October 10, 2012, 8:37 AM Just in front the upcoming enrollment period for Medicare, Walgreen (WAG) says it will be a part of the preferred pharmacy networks of four national Medicare Part D plan sponsors - Coventry, Humana Inc., SmartD Rx and UnitedHealthcare. The company has been marketing itself more actively this enrollment season than in years past as it tries to recoup customers. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, October 3, 2012, 12:59 PM ISI Group analyst Ross Muken says investors should watch Walgreen's (WAG -1%) sales results closely over the next two months to gauge the willingness of customers to return back to the company's prescription services. While execs keeps pointing to the Walgreen loyalty program as a revenue driver, you have to get them in the door first to reap the benefits. (Earlier: Walgreen's September sales disappoint) 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, October 3, 2012, 8:33 AM Walgreen (WAG) reports comparable store sales fell off 11.1% Y/Y with pharmacy sales lagging and generic introductions impacting. The company also blames the lower rate of flu shots this season for the sluggish sales. WAG -2.1% premarket. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, September 28, 2012, 10:43 AM Execs with Walgreen (WAG -2.2%) offer up a clearer vision on the firm's prospects in an earnings CC. Under a verbal barrage from analysts, they say that customers who left during the Express Scripts impasse will continue to return at a respectable pace - even though at this point the retention rate of rivals is probably better than it estimated. As for earnings drivers, the word is that the launch of a loyalty program and the Alliance Boots partnership will reap benefits shortly. By FY16, the company sees revenue topping $130B. (webcast, slides) Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, September 28, 2012, 8:33 AM Shares of Walgreen (WAG) fall 3.1% premarket after the company's earnings beat isn't enough to overcome its sluggish comparable sales numbers and rather dour outlook on consumer spending habits. Analysts continue to warn that the upside for WAG could be limited with the highly leveraged Alliance Boots deal sitting as an overhang. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, September 28, 2012, 7:43 AM More on Walgreen (WAG): While the negative impact of the impasse with Express Scripts is duly noted, the firm says a strategic shift in promotional spending by "challenged" consumers also hurt results. Prescription sales fell 8.1% Y/Y as brand-to-generic prescription drug conversions impacted sales by $664M. Customer traffic in comparable stores decreased 3.2% and basket size increased 1.9%. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
- Friday, September 28, 2012, 7:31 AM Walgreen (WAG): FQ4 EPS of $0.63 beats by $0.07. Revenue of $17B (-5% Y/Y) misses by $160M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]

- Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 7:39 AM Goldman Sachs picks up coverage on Walgreen (WAG) again by slotting the name as a Conviction List Buy. Shares of WAG trade near their 52-week high, but still have room to grow with visibility cleared according to Goldman. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, September 10, 2012, 6:45 PM Walgreen (WAG), Merck (MRK) and Oneok (OKE) led 14 companies in selling nearly $19B worth of debt, making today the biggest day for investment-grade bond issuance since Sept. 8, 2010. With last week's market-moving turbulence behind them and more possibly in store later this week, companies took advantage of the peace and quiet to borrow in a big way. Comment!
