BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 26, 2024--
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (“Walgreens” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WBA ) investors concerning the Company’s possible violations of federal securities laws.
On June 27, 2023, Walgreens released its third quarter fiscal 2023 financial results, falling below analysts’ expectations. Additionally, the Company lowered its fiscal 2023 guidance due to “a slower profit ramp for U.S. health care” related to “reduced COVID, cold and flu season and softer market demand.”
On this news, Walgreens’ stock price fell $2.95, or 9.3%, to close at $28.64 per share on June 27, 2023, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on January 4, 2024, Walgreen released its first quarter fiscal 2024 financial results, falling short of expectations due to “operations in their co-located VillageMD/Walgreens centers.” On this news, Walgreens’ stock price fell $1.31, or 5.1%, to close at $24.26 per share on January 4, 2024.
Then, on June 27, 2024, Walgreens released its third quarter fiscal 2024 financial results, once again falling below analysts’ expectations and lowering its fiscal 2024 guidance. The Company stated that, while it “believe[s] in the future of [VillageMD] and intend[s] to remain an investor and partner . . . as part of [its] persistent focus on value creation for [Walgreens], [it is] collaborating with leadership toward an endpoint.”
On this news, Walgreens’ stock price fell $3.47, or 22.2%, to close at $12.19 per share on June 27, 2024, thereby injuring investors further.
