NEW YORK, March 20, 2025 – The Gross Law Firm, a leading securities fraud law firm, notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (WBA) on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired the company’s securities between August 1, 2020, and February 28, 2023. The complaint alleges that Walgreens Boots Alliance made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business, operations, and financial condition.
Allegations Against Walgreens Boots Alliance
According to the complaint, Walgreens Boots Alliance failed to disclose: (1) that the company was experiencing significant challenges in its retail pharmacy business, including declining sales and customer traffic; (2) that the company’s efforts to turn around its retail pharmacy business were not progressing as planned; (3) that the company was experiencing significant challenges in its pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) business, including increased competition and pricing pressures; and (4) that the company’s financial statements were materially misstated.
Impact on WBA Shareholders
As a result of the above-mentioned allegations, Walgreens Boots Alliance’s stock price was artificially inflated, causing significant harm to investors. The complaint seeks to recover damages on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired WBA securities during the Class Period.
Impact on the World
The fallout from this lawsuit could have far-reaching implications for the healthcare industry as a whole. Walgreens Boots Alliance is one of the largest pharmacy and retail drugstore chains in the world. The allegations of financial misstatements and operational challenges could undermine investor confidence in other pharmacy and healthcare companies, potentially leading to a sell-off in the sector. Additionally, if the allegations are proven true, it could lead to increased scrutiny of the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) industry, which has been under fire for its business practices and their impact on healthcare costs.
