Walgreens Sued Over Revenue Shortfall, Steepest-Ever Stock Drop

Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. misrepresented its expectations about its pharmacy division’s growth and revenue before a disappointing recent financial report that sent the retailer’s stock price into a 22% tailspin, an investor alleges.

The June 27 decline was the steepest percentage loss in a company stock trading history going back to 1980, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The stock price fell from $15.66 to $12.19 per share.

Walgreens and its top leadership concealed facts about the state of its pharmacy division—"notably, that it was not truly equipped to handle the ongoing challenges in its industry.

Not a fan of Walgreens but wouldn't this be a hard one to prove? Part of leadership's job is to be a cheerleader for the company, stating how wonderful things are and what a bright future the company has. Even now, the current CEO, though sincere in his efforts to right the ship, has to speak to investors and employees with a straight face and say what a trusted brand Walgreens is and how it truly cares about its customers and employees. Only a handful of Kool-aid drinkers would actually believe that. Investors have to do their due diligence. Aside from falsifying financial statements which would result in criminal charges, future growth is just a projection and is uncertain at best. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
