The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (WBA) Misled Investors Regarding its Business Prospects
The complaint alleges that during the class period defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the Company’s projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth while also minimizing risk from seasonality and macroeconomic fluctuations. In truth, Walgreens’ optimistic reports of growth, cost cutting measures, and overall stability of its pharmacy division fell short of reality; the Company’s pharmacy division was not equipped to handle the ongoing challenges in its industry and, further, would require significant restructuring to create a sustainable model.
Plaintiff contends that on June 27, 2024, Walgreens announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and reduced its revenue guidance for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2024. The Company attributed its results and lowered guidance on the “significant challenges in the U.S. Retail Pharmacy business stemming from a worse-than-expected consumer environment and challenging pharmacy industry trends.” On this news, the price of Walgreens’ common stock declined approximately 22.16%, from $15.66 per share on June 26, 2024, to $12.19 per share on June 27, 2024.
