historical price, low p/e good numbers despite economy. Location, location, location. They have done a great job in the realestate dept. They keep taking the punches and continue to adapt and improvise and still produce great numbers. UP UP & AWAY!

very low dividend. cost of filling prescriptions will increase, with too much cut rate competition.

It is either done going down or getting close. What can I say about Walgreens? Visit a store and tell me if $43 is too cheap per share. Sell at $51.

Big pharmacy chain with consistent store sales every month. Dividends are nothing to shout about but they are powerhouse in the 3 player game for prescription and convience services.

Baby Boomers need drugs.
That is really all there is to it, Walgreens is opening a new store every 18 hours.
Think StarBucks, but for pills.

Forward P/E ratio at all time low of 17.00+. Stock fell from a Sept.30,2007 of 45 to 39 due to an expense increase in the 4th qtr ended 8/31/07 which is easily controllable in the future. Based on earnings growth over the last 10 years the P/E ratio should easily be 30.This stock should be rewarded for consistent earnings growth (same store as well as total).

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.

Simply the best! Mr. Market has probably overreacted to last quarter earnings. Sterling balance sheet and excellent operations.

This was just too obvious to ignore, even tho I choose CVS too. Excellent quality, expected return well above average.

Good Company and is the Best in Breed. Beats a CVS or RiteAid. It is where my family continues to get our drugs.
