Walgreens is trading at a very low PE ratio. Given its consistent and remarkable earnings over the last, I don't know 30+ years it is very attractive right now. Has about 0 LT debt on B/S has managed to grow almost completely organically (unlike CVS) and has superrior stores and managers relative to CVS. Even janitors have stock options and the employees of the store exude a sense of ownership. MGMT gets the job done right. Stock is down b/c of decreased revenue due to the increase of generics this year- Ironically gererics actually have a higher profit margin and they will add to overall profits.
