Genau, der Abwärtstrend bestand schon vor Corona. Das sehe ich als das große Problem. Durch die hohe Dividendenrendite aktuell dürfte es aber nicht mehr viel runtergehen.

Fällt mir noch gerade ein. Schon vor Corona fällt Walgreen-Kurs nach Süden, seit etwa 2017!

Das Geschäft läuft. Nach der Krise werden sie besser da stehen als viele anderen. Leider nochmal ne Abschreibung. Dachte das wäre langsam mal durch. Denke die kommenden Quartale werden sie die Erwartungen schlagen können. Stellenabbau usw läuft schon seit längerem und wird fortgeführt

🚀👍

Die Schäden wegen Corona sind halt immens, da zu viele Läden geschlossen waren. Ab jetzt hoffentlich wieder aufwärts.

Vielleicht meine schlechteste Investment.

Ich mache mir Gedanken, da hier Walgreens sich seit Jahren nach Süden bewegt und heute schlechte EPS. Hat hier dann keine Zukunft, der Walgreens?

Also nachlegen würde ich nach dem Ergebnis eher woanders...

Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. WBA, 0.16% stock fell 3.1% in Thursday premarket trading after the pharmacy retailer reported third-quarter earnings that missed expectations and reported a COVID-19-related sales impairment. Net loss totaled $1.71 billion, or $1.95 per share, after net income of $1.03 billion, or $1.13 per share, last year. Adjusted EPS of 83 cents fell short of the FactSet consensus for $1.19 per share. Sales of $34.63 billion were up slightly from $34.60 billion last year and ahead of the FactSet consensus for $34.30 billion. COVID-19 hurt Walgreens sales by $700 million to $750 million, which was almost entirely non-U.S. business. The most significant impact was in the U.K., where sales were down 85% in April and Walgreens took $2 billion in non-cash impairment charges. The results also reflect a 61-cent-to-65-cent per share operational impairment from the pandemic. The pharmacy business around the world was hurt by fewer doctor visits and hospital admissions. Prescriptions filled in the U.S. were down 1.3%, and U.S. retail same-store sales were up 1.9% due to increased demand for vitamins and personal protective equipment (PPE). "Shopping patterns are evolving more rapidly than ever as consumers further embrace digital options, spurring us to accelerate our ongoing investments in digital transformation and neighborhood health destinations," said Chief Executive Stefano Pessina in a statement. Those efforts include the expansion of the clinic collaboration with VillageMD and partnerships with Microsoft Corp. MSFT, 2.19% and Adobe Inc. ADBE, 1.85% for omnichannel service. Under the terms of the expanded deal with VillageMD, Walgreens will open 500 to 700 clinics in more than 30 markets over the next five years. Walgreens will invest $1 billion in equity and convertible debt in VillageMD over the next three years, with Walgreens holding 30% ownership interest in the company when the investment is complete. Walgreens completed a $250 million equity investment on Wednesday. Walgreens will close 48 Boots Opticians and cut office support headcount by 20% in U.K., impacting 4,000 jobs, or about 7% of the company's workforce. Walgreens expects 2020 adjusted EPS of $4.65 to $4.75, including $1.03 to $1.14 impact from COVID-19. The company forecasts additional impact from the pandemic in the fourth quarter. Walgreens raised its dividend 2.2% to 46.75 cents per share on Wednesday, payable Sept. 11, 2020 to shareholders of record as of Aug. 19 2020. Walgreens stock has tumbled 28.3% for the year to date while the S&P 500 index SPX, 0.78% is down nearly 2% for the period.

Walgreens Boots (NASDAQ:WBA) declares $0.4675/share quarterly dividend, a 2.2% increase from prior dividend of $0.4575. Forward yield 4.42% Payable Sept. 11; for shareholders of record Aug. 19; ex-div Aug. 18.

Hab jetzt nochmal nachgelegt

Bedenklicher Kursverlauf. Hoffentlich werden die Zahlen im Juli besser als erwartet und die Dividende wird angehoben. Für einen Dividendenaristokraten echt eine lausige Performance.

Insolvenz

Wie seht ihr die Zukunft für Walgreen?

Na merkwürdig ist es schon, dass es hier stetig bergab geht, selbst vor Corona.
