Is Walgreens Stock a Buy?
Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ: WBA) is one of the largest pharmacy retailers in the United States. The company has not been performing particularly well for the last few years. While there's a potential turnaround opportunity for the business in the years ahead, that probably isn't going to translate into a big investment opportunity.
Here's what you need to know about Walgreens before you buy it today.
Walgreens is a retailer. It isn't just any retailer, however -- it's a pharmacy, which is a somewhat specialized niche in the retail sector. There are basically two parts to its business. The core is the health-related pharmacy operation, which is normally located at the back of the store. This is the part of the operation that creates repeat business, as people come back again and again to get their prescribed medications.
