WBA isn’t doing too well, and there’s a potential for bankruptcy
You need to decide what stocks you are good holding. A quick glance on WBA shows it is very poorly rated by analysts. Not sure why, but it might be worth looking into.
The last 2 weeks I have bought shares in $HAL (Oil/Gas Svce) $29B, Mosaic (Basic Materials) $9B, $WBA (pharmaceutical retail) $9B, and $VALE (Basic Materials) $46B.
I'd lose WBA, has been dropping since 2015 and hasn't looked back.
WBA, XLF, and AAPL (yes AAPL) are up for me today. Not much, but 3 - 8% green. I'm still red for the day of course. Bought calls shortly after open and dumped the losers quick. These 3 yahoos are still hanging on.
WBA dont sleep on it!
Some guy gave me a tip that DFW would probably try to do the typical pnd antics to WBA next based on their short float
Think WBA hit its bottom earlier this week. The only direction left is up, and the options are dirt cheap.
Been thinking about a long put position on WBA.
If the company looks like it is going to implode (WBA for instance) I generally bail even if it is at a loss. If I buy a stock with a dividend of say 4% and the stock explodes, and the dividend doesn’t keep up with the stock growth (say the dividend drops below 1%) I tend to at least sell off the value of what I put it into it in the first place. Functionally, I’ll take some profit but not close out of the stock. At the worst I can call it a slight reallocation.
I DCA into WBA to try and recover massive loss... But it keeps going lower. I'm so fuk
At least you don't have WBA like I do at 50% loss. I'm so regarded and too paralyzed by the loss to sell.
Yep. Just as WBA was in 2022
Nope, 6 vs. 1/2 dozen. WBA was going to be saved bringing on RAD's real estate, RAD was going to finally realize its RE value and pay out shareholders. Worked for no one, neither business had a moat. Same scenario. Brokers, lawyers, and executives will get paid out while this dying business gets new life support machines.
Kind of like how WBA was going to be saved by acquiring RAD? Very familiar
I thought WBA couldn’t go any lower but never fails to surprise me. Only people who are still up are the ones who bought in 1984
Check out WBA. It is one of the best value stocks according to many professionals. Until it kaboom recently. And now it is going to $2/share.
WBA They’re eating shit right now and that’s printing money on puts.
Let's pull up my bags, INTC, WBA, NKE... I'd start with those
Lol, read on article on Wallgeens, WBA. That fucking chart tells a different tale......
> What do people think about CVS? They are diversified vs WBA but that isn't helping them right now and may not for a while. Needs a new CEO. The retail pharmacy business will likely continue to erode and there's no apparent pivot for that given the attempt to pivot towards services has not worked out as expected (WMT curtailing their efforts, WBA taking the L on $6B investment in VillageMD), etc. For all the discussion of diversification, even if there were not the medicare issues there are, people are not going to easily overlook that the retail business really does seem like it's in decline with no apparent vision as to how to turn that around. WBA CEO the other day on the earnings call: "We are at a point where the current pharmacy model is not sustainable." The other parts of CVS are also not without regulatory risk, too. They should have pre-announced last quarter, which was maybe one of the worst quarters I've seen for an otherwise boring company in years. People kept thinking CVS was cheap and how much lower could the stock go, then it's -20% in a day. You really had a pair of companies that had a lock on convience for people who wanted to grab a couple of things or needed to get a prescription and bought a few things while they were there and paid way more for those things then if they bought them anywhere else. And as prescriptions became more affordable elsewhere and you had a rise of delivery services for the kind of things that someone might run to Walgreens for, they didn't change anything at all about the business to try to adapt. And both still reliably sell off any time Amazon mentions the word healthcare. I genuinely don't know what the future is for Walgreens. Talk on the conference call about turning things around seem to be missing a vision for what that actually looks like. CVS will probably be fine but I can't imagine it's not a smaller company 5 years from now then it is today. Stock has been a case of what seems cheap can get cheaper; certainly appears cheap at this point but it really feels like the market is repeatedly marking down the melting ice cube retail business and isn't currently being helped by the rest. If someone wanted to buy it as an attempt at a value play, I'd say buy some in the mid $50's and add a bit more every $5 down. There is no apparent catalyst - that I can see, at least - so I would size the position accordingly. (I'm not buying/recommending, just saying.)
Between $CHWY & $WBA I’m all in
Other stock are making ???? WBA CVS NKE Solar stocks TSLA EV stocks...
Could be worse. I also added WBA. Lost 30%
WBA is the ticker. he has to stay committed to CHWY for a little bit, to maintain any credibility, so I'd keep an eye on WBA over the next quarter. My guess is he'd get in around $9 / sh.
Jesus. What they are doing to WBA is criminal.
WBA Walgreens. Nestlé ? Swatch ?
I remember thinking WBA found its bottom at 20. Just goes to show it can always go lower. With a lot of debt, falling revenues, and a dying business model, it’s hard to find things I like. They have a ton of locations, which is nice, but even that is changing.
My opinion is that it's an awful business to be invested in. High debt, deteriorating margins, minimal revenue growth. May go the way of Rite Aid. CVS is also a shitty business but it at least is diversified away a bit more (though WBA is trying). Would you buy shares today of WBA? The answer is probably no, at least it is for me. I would personally sell it off and put it in the S&P 500 or whatever index fund you prefer. There is definitely upside like any low quality, heavily shorted company that has been beaten down viciously (see Carvana), but it's a total gamble. But if it's just a handful of shares, maybe it doesn't really matter at the end of the day?
CVS WBA SIRI NKE BA Natural Gas and China ! Good luck ! By the way, i bought 2 months ago TSLA, sold today... ;)
Why is Walgreens so red? !ban bet WBA $16 Jan 6th 2025
Mods give me “Really Regarded” as my flair and I’ll buy 5k of WBA calls
10/18 $10 puts WBA or 1/2025 plan on BK coming real quick.
NKE not going anywhere unless the Dow delists them so long as they have that status they’ll be aight otherwise it’ll just go the same way as WBA
I haven’t done options in a min but, seeing the WBA, and NKE Puts print before. I am going to put skin in BA Puts at open.
As others mentioned it is priced in. WBA is down 57% this year. It could go to zero. Or ... someone like Amazon or Walmart-Mart might acquire WBA for their locations, causing the stock to rocket, and you lose your shirt in a short squeeze. Shorting is *very* hard. Good luck!
THE AMERICAN CONSUMER IS STRUGGLING, RIGHT?! [$WBA](https://x.com/search?q=%24WBA&src=cashtag_click) Walgreens, [$NKE](https://x.com/search?q=%24NKE&src=cashtag_click) Nike, and [$SBUX](https://x.com/search?q=%24SBUX&src=cashtag_click) Starbucks earnings would have you thinking that the US consumer can’t afford basic goods, a pair of sneakers, or a caramel frappe (the best flavor btw).
I would argue, that yes CD is down, but moreso consumers are simply being more choosy *where they spend their money. Carnival Cruise Lines just posted the best earnings beat on record. Airline traffic is at pre pandemic levels. People are choosing to spend where they can get discounts, but they are still spending. Companies that jacked their prices up are doing poorly: NKE, LULU, SBUX, TGT, MCD, WBA. But at the same time stocks like Walmart, Costco, and Amazon are posting all time highs. I'm bullish on Amazon, partly for that reason. People are still spending, and Amazon is capturing a larger piece of that spend than it ever has. And that is a minor player to the AWS story. Id stay long here, particularly after the stock breaking out of a FOUR YEAR resistance. Also. If it is a false breakout, the stop parameters are clearly defined. 189 is previous resistance, and 175 has been the floor for a year now.
That's right. I purchased 200 shares at a cost basis a little higher than yours. What other good inverse picks are on your radar ? Thoughts on WBA and Intel ?
Ooh merger gambles! I fondly remember RAD and WBA from years ago. Still carrying over the bags ...
Yes also WBA is paying a 9% dividend!
Idk why you mentioned WBA lol did you not hear their earnings report? I don’t anything changing
How old are you? Literally nothing you said is accurate. Customers hate BA, it is a horrible predatory company and the only individuals that bank there don't know any better. BA's bread and butter is name recognition, taking from the poor, and commercial clients. Their govt contracts are one thing, but its a bad investment imo. WBA? No. They missed the Tricare contract when Walmart pivoted/lost it, and it went to CVS. CVS is the better buy in that market. Even then the upside is not that great. ETSY - Your whole track on NSFW is incorrect. Companies lose their NSFW content to attract INVESTORS and BUY OUTS, not customers. "Younger customers hate nsfw stuff" is just plain incorrect. When a 'site' bans NSFW, another site replaces it and the original site fails. Etsy has other problems, mostly with their sellers. They have lost their way. LULU - Lululemon... lol really? Fad company selling cheap products for inflated prices. 50% upside, you are dreaming. Not sure how you can possibly stand behind the information in this post. It just plain isn't factual.
WBA and CVS shouldn’t really be compared to one another I feel. More than half of CVS revenue is from their PBM side of things. I feel like they’re in a better position than most brick and mortar pharmacy businesses because of their large involvement in health insurance. Not to say their price doesn’t make sense now, but they’re set up for the long haul far better than Walgreens.
Yes, check WBA 🙃 SBUX CVS etc.
It happens, I recently made a post on missing out on WBA puts due to settled funds not being there in time, went to purchase them last week and the next day they did earnings and it tanked a good bit, that one bums me out pretty good cause I really wanted them, didnt even factor earnings into the equation on that one. Just glad to know I was right on it at this point

As many have stated, it seems that WBA is likely in its last leg. Would love to think there is an opportunity of some sort of turn around but the competition is steep and infinitely better.

Bloodiest day for footwear bulls in decades. RIP WBA, RIP NKE. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
We've all been there with the near miss, especially when it's a trade you felt so confident about. WBA's drop sounds like it would've been a great payday. The good news is, missing one trade (even a potentially great one) won't make or break you. The fact that you put in the homework and identified a good opportunity is a win in itself. Just focus on sticking to your plan and learning from this. Maybe set up a recurring transfer to your brokerage account to avoid settlement delays in the future?
Let me introduce you to $WBA
Whats your opinion on where CVS could be heading in the light of WBA missing expectations?
There is some serious blood in the streets. If they cut the dividend further this stock could 2-3x. They’re priced to go bankrupt, which in fairness RAD did. But if WBA doesn’t go bankrupt this could be a nice play.
Anyone post any WBA trades? Might be worth a bounce or buyout trade
Fun fact: I'd you bought $10,000 worth of WBA in May 1997, it would be worth almost $10,000 today
No I was an idiot and bet on WBA, I thought they can’t possibly fall further
I’d rather avoid the entire sector and take my chances on the other thing people do when they aren’t sick or getting their prescription drugs: entertainment. Opened a long position in both $WBD and $PARA. Feel like they have a better turnaround story than $WBA, $RAT or even $CVS. I have $CVS on a watchlist - at least they have their PBM business which could be an interesting pivot for them.
I agree with you. I could be wrong but this happens every single time a stock is overbeaten. A while ago it was Meta. They were trading at $92 and this board called them dead. Then it was Disney trading in the low $80s. This board is amazing at telling you everything wrong with a stock after it misses earnings. They had solid revenue income and Village is doing well. Consumer spending is going to be down everywhere so get ready to see some red from a lock of stocks. Ultimately I think WBA bounces back in a few quarters.
[https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=WBA&p=d&ty=rv](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=WBA&p=d&ty=rv) You can see here that retail accounts for \~25% of their revenue. Though pharmacy is 61.68%. For [CVS](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=CVS&p=d&ty=rv) their front store is only 6.28% revenue.
Dump it into WBA so I can exit my position
Where are the bag holders of WBA and CVS ? 🙃
No. It's not. Retail is getting crushed right now and stores like WBA and CVS are charging 30 percent more for everything. People have wised up with this shit economy and they are buying at Walmart or Dollar Tree. Amazon sales are way down also. Temu sales are up.
WBA, NKE, today was the 9/11 of footwear. Stay strong foot apparel bulls 💪🏻
ok who hit the WBA 50-100 bagger puts? let me win vicariously
I analyzed WBA around two years ago and came to the conclusion it was cheap. Despite the slow growth I considered WBA to be like a stable player where there is not much to worry about. I mean people need medicine. It is not like you just stop buying when you are short on cash. Furthermore there are not that many big players in the market so I considered competition is not to strong. However, there were some warnings about the growth of the companies. But all in all it seemed there are more positive points than negative ones and according to my quantitative analysis the company already had a discount. I really was about to buy some stocks but when I took a second look and even though there were no revenue and profit warnings from WBA itself back then I couldn't really imagine this company to thrive with such a "lame" business model. I thought why investing in a company that lacks behind in online sales and has to keep up thousands of stores around the country when new players can basically just send goods from the warehouses to their customers. What I want so say is: The company missed huge parts of digital transformation and is to big to catch up fast enough to not loose major market share. And til now I don't see any signs that this will change. Means, if you buy shit cheap you still only bought shit.
WBA looks like such an obvious Short in retrospect. My local Walgreens is dead. Overpriced, disorganized, dirty, no customers or employees to be found….Congratulations Put holders—those sure printed! 🎉
I mean I don’t own any WBA stock but this has not been my experience at all. Quite the opposite. I never buy anything because it’s too expensive but whenever i’m in one it’s a fine experience
Fuck my life. I always pick the worst stocks. Why the hell did I buy WBA instead of CVS
A few three things come to mind here: 1. I’d be proud to lose $32K on almost any stock aside from WBA. 2. $32K options loss: balla. $32K loss from shares? 😵💫 3. Can’t envision the thesis on betting on a perennial 20 year loser like WBA.

Don't ask me why but I own a little WBA. Keeps me humbled I guess.
WBA back to levels not seen since 1997 This type of loser stock is my type stock
I got my CVS call wrong (had sold out a 1-2 months ago for a small absolute loss), but one thing I did get right is WBA is an order of magnitude worse. I haven't looked at its balance sheet in a while but WBA has a concerning debt load.
Is it reasonable for WBA to fall 25%?
Jesus those WBA calls are gonna be worthless
A dumb part of me wants to toss a grand on ITM WBA calls a month out
Why in the world would you go for WBA. I snagged puts, they never make earnings and it's been on a slide for ever.
Remember during COVID when people were shilling WBA?
Why would CVS fall in price alongside WBA? Is it general fear over the future of big box pharmacies or irrationality within the stock market? I know CVS is doing significantly better than WBA.
WBA starting to feel like it's potentially in trouble sooner than later but nobody's really saying it. No path to growth, earnings bad (again), likely closing a lot of stores (https://www.wsj.com/health/walgreens-plans-major-u-s-store-closures-0b04a96e) and loses benefits of scale as a smaller company. Yet, would probably result in antitrust if AMZN, KR, WMT, TGT, etc tried to buy it - only if it really got distressed might that be allowed.
