Walgreens Boots Alliance is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is engaged in retail and wholesale pharmacy. Co.'s operations are organized into three divisions: Retail Pharmacy USA, which pharmacy-led health and beauty retail offerings in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands; Retail Pharmacy International, which has pharmacy-led health and beauty retail businesses with principal retail pharmacy brands such as Boots, Benavides and Ahumada; and Pharmaceutical Wholesale, which consists of the Alliance Healthcare pharmaceutical wholesaling and distribution businesses and an equity method investment in AmerisourceBergen. The WBA stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the WBA stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2016 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the WBA annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
