- Friday, May 17, 12:48 PM Walgreen (WAG +1.3%) and Alliance Boots receive the regulatory clearances for their equity investment in AmerisourceBergen (ABC +0.4%). The clearances permit both to purchase up to 7% of ABC in the open market, and the exercise of two warrants for 16% in the aggregate in 2016 and 2017. Comment! [Healthcare, M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 13, 7:06 AM UBS upgrades Walgreen (WAG) to a Buy rating from Neutral and sets a $48 price target on shares. The firm notes the drugstore operator could see stronger gross margins and thinks visibility on the impact of the Alliance Boots transaction is clearer. WAG +1.4% premarket to $41.63. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 19, 12:37 PM CVS Caremark (CVS +2.6%) and Rite Aid (RAD +5.4%) both trade higher, riding the back of a strong quarter and promising guidance from Express Scripts. Sector peer Walgreen (WAG +0.9%) isn't quite keeping up despite a price target boost by Cantor Fitzgerald to $45. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]

Tuesday, February 5, 5:48 PM
After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: SFLY +16%. CSGS +13%. PIKE +10%. ZNGA +8%. TTWO +5%.
After-hours top losers: GLUU -5%. HAIN -4%. TTMI -4%. XLS -3%. WAG -3%. 1 Comment [On the Move] - Tuesday, February 5, 9:15 AM Walgreen (WAG) reports January sales rose 6.3% Y/Y to $6.15B as it increased the prescriptions filled at comparable stores at a double-digit rate. The company noted the percentage of Express Scripts customers using its pharmacies increased again, but didn't issue specific numbers. Flu shots season-to-date now total over 6.9M, up over 25% from last year's mark, largely due to the widespread flu epidemic. WAG +1.6% premarket. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 7:39 AM More on Walgreen (WAG): Prescription sales fell 7.2% compared to a year ago while generic introductions negatively impacted sales by 4.9 percentage points in the quarter. Overall, total sales in comparable stores declined a disappointing 8%. The company opened 218 new drugstores during the period. WAG -2.2% premarket. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 12:46 PM BioScrip (BIOS +1.7%) moves up after announcing earlier today that it was buying infusion pharmacy services provider HomeChoice Partners for $70M in cash from DaVita HealthCare Partners (DVA -0.3%). The deal is part of a larger effort by BIOS to expand its national footprint. In February, it sold its specialty and mail-service pharmacy operations to Walgreen (WAG)for $225M, saying it wanted to turn its focus onto building its alternate-site infusion business. Comment! [Healthcare, M&A, On the Move]
- 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]
- 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]

Thursday, July 19, 2012, 9:10 AM
Premarket gainers: MLNX +42%. SCSS +21%. GGC +16%. NOK +13%. WAG +11%. SWKS +10%. TXT +9%. EDU +8%. EBAY +8%. ALU +7%. QCOM +6%. PPG +5%. LUV +5%.
Losers: ANTH -15%. DCIX -15%. JCI -8%. CVS -6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, July 19, 2012, 8:13 AM Walgreen (WAG) and Express Scripts (ESRX) announce a new pharmacy network agreement, ending a long impasse between the two firms. Premarket: WAG +16.7%, ESRX +5.7%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, June 20, 2012, 9:30 AM Shares of Walgreen (WAG) move down 1.9% premarket after taking on a downgrade from both Argus and Macquarie. The loss comes on top of a 5.9% hit yesterday. At its current trading price, WAG's price-earnings ratio is in single digits and its yield crossed over the 3% mark. 4 Comments [On the Move, Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 19, 2012, 9:03 AM Shares of Walgreen (WAG) have lost early premarket gains following the company's FQ3 earnings report and are now trading down 6.8%. It's the big $6.7B bet on Alliance Boots that has grabbed the attention of traders over the company's penny miss on earnings. 2 Comments [On the Move, Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 8:21 AM Walgreen (WAG) reports total sales fell off 1.6% in May and comparable store front-end sales declined 1%. Although prescriptions filled at comparable stores decreased 7.6% Y/Y, the company claims that the underlying trend has improved. Shares -1.6% premarket. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, June 4, 2012, 8:50 AM Shares of Walgreen (WAG) move up 3.4% premarket off of news that Express Scripts (ESRX) and the company have dropped claims against each other. Though a new contract isn't in place yet that allows Walgreen customers to fill their Express Scripts prescriptions, ending back-and-forth litigation is certainly a step in the right direction. 2 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
