Walgreens cuts its fiscal year earnings guidance and shares fell more than 6% in premarket trading

Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. cut its earnings expectations for the fiscal year after the drugstore chain said it faced its most difficult quarter since the merger of Alliance Boots and Walgreens.

In the most recent quarter, the Deerfield, Ill.-based company said its profit fell to $1.16 billion, or $1.24 a share, from $1.35 billion, or $1.36 a share, a year earlier. Adjusted earnings came in at $1.64 a share, lower than the $1.72 a share that analysts polled by Refinitiv expected.
