- 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! [U.S. Economy, Consumer, Healthcare, Energy]
- Thursday, September 6, 2012, 2:24 PM Cantor Fitzgerald predicts that the DOD decision to snub Walgreen (WAG -2.4%) will tip over to affect sentiment on the company. The pharmacy network decision, along with Walgreen's sluggish sales report, has shares seeing red. 8 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, September 6, 2012, 8:10 AM Walgreen (WAG) reports August sales fell 4.5% Y/Y to $5.85B, with customer traffic in comparable stores down 2.2%. The company says the negative impact on comparable store prescriptions filled due to not being part of the Express Scripts pharmacy network was 10.7 percentage points for the month. WAG -2.6% (Earlier: The DOD rejects WAG) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, September 6, 2012, 7:55 AM Walgreen (WAG) will remain left out of the Tricare pharmacy network after the Department of Defense decides to not let its 10M beneficiaries who receive coverage through Express Scripts to fill prescriptions at Walgreen stores. Shares of WAG -3.0% premarket. 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 12:30 PM A light flu season and increased competition over flu shots hit the bottom lines of drugstore chains last year, so this year they've decided to get an early jump to try to edge out retail players such as Wal-Mart and Target. CVS Caremark (CVS +0.5%), Walgreen (WAG -0.4%), and Rite Aid (RAD -0.5%) have all rolled out promotions aimed at getting customers into their pharmacies before the big boys catch the flu shot sale. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, August 17, 2012, 7:58 AM Morgan Stanley upgrades Walgreen (WAG) to Equal-weight from Underweight following a broad post-ESRX settlement trend of the company falling back into favor (or at out of disfavor) with the Street. Shares of WAG +16.2% over the last 30 days with visibility improved. (Previous: Cantor takes WAG to Buy) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, August 16, 2012, 9:39 AM Cantor Fitzgerald initiates both Walgreen (WAG -0.2%) and CVS Caremark (CVS +0.1%) with Buy ratings. While Walgreen is likely to benefit from the impact of acquisitions and generic drugs, CVS should see margin gains in retail and PBM operations this year, according to analyst Ajay Jain. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, August 3, 2012, 8:21 AM Walgreen (WAG) same-store sales: -7.0%. Total sales -3.7% to $5.59B. (PR) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, August 2, 2012, 1:12 PM Walgreen (WAG -1.9%) says it now owns 45% of Alliance Boots after making its initial investment of $4B. The company retains the right to proceed to a full combination by acquiring the remaining 55% of the European pharmacy entity. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 3:56 PM Walgreen (WAG +1.5%) shares move up after WellPoint (WLP) says its members will regain access to WAG pharmacies in mid-September, now that the drugstore chain has reached a new deal with Express Scripts (ESRX). WLP is ESRX's largest client, so the move could help WAG as it tries to recoup customers it lost starting Jan. 1 when it broke ties with ESRX. 1 Comment [Healthcare, Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, July 19, 2012, 9:53 AM Street chatter: Details haven't been released, but early buzz tips to Express Script (ESRX +2.4%) getting the better end of the pharmacy deal with Walgreen (WAG +12.1%), perhaps to the point it landed terms close to its original demands. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]

Seeking a payday: KR, WAG, SVU, SWY, and privately-held HEB Grocery. 1 Comment [Consumer, Healthcare]

$WAG really disappointed me and is making me rethink my view of management - already didn't care for the drunk CFO - View all 13 replies

Alan Brochstein: You have a funny way of describing your cost. Generally, when I say "averaged in at 27.50", I would think that would imply avg BUY price.
