I bought a small position last month and set up a savings plan. Simply a bet for a turnaround or as a takeover candidate. The figures are generally correct, the debt is being reduced and the dividend has been lowered.
@Der_Dividenden_Monteur the figures are correct? How do you determine that? I wouldn't describe a drastically slashed profit forecast as "the figures are generally correct". That should ring all the alarm bells, and it's been going on for several years. Could it be wishful thinking or a case of soft talk?
@Dividenden-Sammler eps from 2.95 to 2.80 is drastic in your opinion? Sales have increased in the last 4 quarters, which is positive for me. As I said, turnaround bet or takeover candidate.
I don't need to talk myself out of investments, I've been in the game for a while.
it's crazy what's going on but all you ever hear is garbage stock scum etc. I don't know if the share will come back at some point... what do you think?
@GordonGekko83 I was in California last year and visited many Walgreens and CVS stores and found both ugly, but I found the Walgreens stores a bit better than CVS. Then I did a survey of people I know who live there and asked them if Walgreens or CVS? and they all said Walgreens without exception...
@GordonGekko83 the CVS store on Hollywood Boulevard reminded me of a Späti at Frankfurt's main station... a bit run down... and half the shelves were empty.
@Sele-95 With CVS Health, Walgreens almost has a kind of duopoly on pharmacies (stores) in the USA. Although, of course, there is now also online competition and smaller competitors.
