▼ + stars: | 2024-06-27 | by ( Danielle Kaye | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The pharmacy chain also cut its profit outlook for the year, citing worse-than-expected consumer spending. “We witness continued pressure on the U.S. consumer,” Tim Wentworth, the chief executive of Walgreens Boots Alliance, told investors during an earnings call on Thursday. “Our customers have become increasingly selective and price-sensitive in their purchases.”As of February, Walgreens has closed 625 U.S. stores. The company did not specify how many additional stores it would close as part of its “significant multiyear” program to cut back on costs. But roughly a quarter of the pharmacy chain’s U.S. stores — those that the company doesn’t see as crucial to its long-term strategy — could be affected, Mr. Wentworth said.

After Walgreens reported a disappointing quarter on Thursday, CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors why he thinks Amazon is making it hard for the drugstore giant to succeed. "The stock market can be a brutal, brutal, brutal task master. Cramer said Walgreens is more expensive than Amazon and less convenient, adding that there are not enough employees at its stores. He conceded that Walgreens' back-of-store pharmacy business may currently have a slight edge on Amazon. "But they do set out to get the best products with the best values at the most convenient places — the most convenient places meaning your home."

☆ Walgreens will close a ‘significant’ number of its 8,600 US locations
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-27 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

New York CNN —Walgreens is set to close a substantial number of its roughly 8,600 locations across the United States as the company looks to reset the struggling pharmaceutical chain’s business. The company didn’t announce a specific number of store closures, but it said Thursday that it is planning “significant” closures of underperforming stores across America as part of a multiyear optimization program. The closures would focus on locations that aren’t profitable, too close to each other or stores struggling with theft, Wentworth told the Journal. Major drugstore chains, including CVS (CVS) and Rite Aid, have struggled in recent years because of declining profits from filling prescriptions. Wentworth told the Journal it’s losing money on filling those prescriptions.

A person rides past a Walgreens truck, owned by the Walgreens Boots Alliance, in Manhattan, New York City, on Nov. 26, 2021. Walgreens on Thursday reported fiscal third-quarter earnings that fell short of expectations and slashed its full-year adjusted profit outlook, citing a "challenging" environment for pharmacies and U.S. consumers. Still, Walgreens topped revenue estimates for the quarter on strong performance in its health-care segment. The company reported a net income of $344 million, or 40 cents per share, for the quarter. The company has not offered that guidance since October, when it said it expected $141 billion to $145 billion in sales.

☆ Amazon can keep its record run going due to a major catalyst — and it's not the cloud
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-26 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

BofA called out the importance of Amazon's retail margin because it has generated more estimated outperformance than its cloud business Amazon Web Services (AWS). Add on same-day delivery, Jim asked, rhetorically, "Why would you go to the store on the way home when it's at your home." Fifty-one percent of respondents, a survey record, said they opted for Amazon's same-day delivery option. Based on these results, Evercore believes Prime same-day delivery is a "multiplier to purchase frequency and overall spend." The latest Wall Street analysis and thoughts from Jim support the idea of further room for Amazon stock to run higher.

He named TJX , Ollie's , Ross Stores and Burlington Stores , all up year-to-date at 17.83%, 29.54%, 7.48% and 23.05% respectively.

A cohort known as the "dogs" of the Dow Jones Industrial Average is a changing list of stocks with the highest dividend yield at the end of each year. For those who subscribed to the dogs theory, there's largely been upside — with 7 of the 9 stocks beating the Dow. These stats are current as of Monday afternoon: Verizon runs the dog house with the highest current dividend yield at 6.6%. The stock also has a current dividend yield of 3.4%. While Goldman Sachs has seen the best year-to-date performance, the bank has the lowest current dividend yield on the list at just 2.4%.

New CNN —Pop quiz: How much does a Big Mac, fries and a fountain beverage – also known as a Big Mac combo meal – cost? In a recent letter, Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, said $18 for a Big Mac combo was the “exception” and not the norm across all 13,700 restaurants in the country. The thing is: It doesn’t really matter that virtually no one is paying anything close to $18 for a Big Mac combo. “The average price of a Big Mac in the US was $4.39 in 2019,” Erlinger said in his recent letter. Behold: Price cuts and value menusI’d be willing to bet Erlinger was made aware of the viral $18 Big Mac combo post not long after it took off.

Nvidia had some strong moves in the days after its 10-for-1 stock split traded in the market on June 10. Tuesday brought weaker-than-expected May retail sales , which the stock market took in stride, perhaps on the view that softness helps the view that the Federal Reserve will indeed cut interest rates later this year. Ultimately, the economic readings this past week signal that while U.S. growth remains resilient, things are slowing, which is an ideal setup for stock market bulls. The Fed's favorite inflation gauge and the tail end of earning season will be drivers of the market in the week ahead.

U.S. consumers, fatigued by a three-year bout of inflation, want lower prices. Target recently announced modest price cuts on 5,000 food products and household goods. Craft and furniture stores like Michael’s and Ikea have also said they will drop prices on popular items.
