company is reducing cost in pratically every category, as well as payroll and medical expenses.
major brand replenishment for all stores while cutting 23,000 wasteful items to streamline customer shopping and reducing
inventory costs and the cost of goods taxation
still going back to building around 330+ stores as it was about four years ago, just slower and even smarter
very strong (in house) management staff, particularlly know for it strong store manager base at all points of implementation

this stock is sinking faster than Mel Gibson's acting career. I will jump back in at $32 on the upswing (two years from now)

This account tracks the less exciting stocks from my watch list - companies that are easy to understand with clean balance sheets and good track records in relatively straight-forward industries.

Huge chain with lots of room for growth - even in the US. I've traveled throughout the US and love Walgreens. Unfortunately, they do not have a store within 25 miles of my home!

WAG is up 10% on lower revenues. Competition from in hospital drug stores, supermarkets, walmart, target and mail order must be hurting sales.
I think this business model is hurting. It is neither a supermarket, nor a convenience store. I'll be sorry to see these WAG stores fade away. For decades this was a well run company and it is a tough redthumb.

A very wise old man once told me a long time ago, "if you ever get into the stock market game, be sure and buy some Walgreen stock." That advice hasn't let me down yet.

Agressive advertising to get the majority of the Senior Rx market will bring many more consumers in the stors than retail sales. Emphasis on service will keep customers

Walgreens has spent the money now to better control costs. These expenses should pay off huge in the next few years. Plus, the company has been around for more than 100 years. It knows how to survive and thrive.

i'm probably (definitely) late on this pick, but it's clobbering the economy's expectations. I'm most interested in their low payout ratio which hopefully suggests they will increase their dividend again soon.

The economy is churning, and car dealerships are going to be flattened to make room for something that makes money. Shopping plazas (with a Walgreen) sounds like a plan...
Basically, this is a bet the "drugstore" sector is set to do well as family spending focuses on the essentials: heart meds, get-well card, and chips while you're at it...
Traveling through Florida, I see the future: a drugstore on every other corner. Aging Americans (more and more of 'em every day!) have every reason to come through a drug store, picking up their life-enhancing medicines, and remembering they need _______, too.
