Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) raised its full-year profit guidance yesterday after both its US and UK businesses delivered better-than-expected sales performance during its first quarter, aided by vaccination activity and surging online sales.
In the UK, comparable retail sales at Boots jumped 16.3%, recovering from the significant declines last year when its high street and travel sites were impacted by lockdowns, and shoppers turned to supermarkets for their health & beauty needs.
NamNews Implications:
- Clearly the future of Boots lies in success online…
- (and optimising their consumer franchise in terms of patient/healthcare)
- Especially given the assessment anticipated from Private Equity companies.
- Meanwhile, suppliers proposing online-based initiatives will have the most appeal in the current situation…
