Walgreens maintained its full-year forecast of earnings to be roughly flat. The company cut its outlook last quarter from the previously guided 7% to 12% growth. Walgreens and its competitors are under pressure, with insurers paying pharmacies less to fill prescriptions and consumers buying fewer household items at drugstores and more online. Facing these challenges, Walgreens CEOdubbed last quarter the "most difficult" quarter since Walgreens acquired European drugstore chain Alliance Boots in late 2014 to form Walgreens Boots Alliance.
"Following a difficult second quarter, we made progress in the third quarter against the strategic goals we set, and are pleased to report an improvement in our U.S. comparable growth compared with the first half of the year," Pessina said.
