They report Tuesday. Very worried. Not sure if their buy of Summit Health can give their shares a boost. Have been a poor performer among retailers with decent balance sheets. He needs to hear them speak about theft. Buying stuff there is discouraging because it's under lock and key. It's easier to buy from Amazon.

DON'T BUY
Among the worst Dow performers in Q3 Down 17%. Pays a 6% yield. He expected more from them given the Covid booster shot business. Trades at 6.3x earnings. That tell him they gained little market share during the pandemic unlike CVS. They lack a strategy to compete with Amazon; people buy consumer staples from Amazon instead. Walgreen stores are short of staff, which effects service.

Likes the stock at this level. Relative value compared to the S&P 500 usually trades at a premium, and that has since come in quite substantially. This is a great entry point. If you normalize for the synergies that they can get from the Rite Aid acquisition and the Alliance Boots acquisition, you are looking a pro forma earnings upwards of $7 per share they could realize a couple of years out. This is a stock that typically traded in the range of 15-20X earnings, so there is a lot of upside potential. You could buy Rite Aid (RAD-N), which would be a lower risk way to get a little bit of upside into your broader portfolio.
