The company told a net loss of $ 2.85 billion, or $ 3.30 per share, for the second financial quarter. It compares a net loss of $ 5.91 billion, or $ 6.85 per share, in the period of the year.
With the exception of some elements, the modified profits were 63 cents per share per quarter.
The results include fees of $ 4.2 billion related to a loss in the value of the American retail pharmacy and investment in the Villagem Adventure Clinic Series.
But Walgrens has made a $ 1 billion profit by spending some of its shares in Cencora, which is the Organization for Medicines, and taking advantage of gains from its investments in BRIGHTSPRING, which is an provider of comprehensive home and community health services. These are one of the best investments in the field of health care in Walgrens.
