Problem
Examine Walgreens', CVS Caremark's, and Rite Aid's 2009 financial performance in the table below. Evaluate Walgreens' performance against direct external competition using the financial data and ratios. Is Walgreens' performance the same as, better than, or worse than that of CVS and Rite Aid? Why is this the case? If your university library has access to hoovers.com (or a similar database), look up these financial ratios for the current year. Has the financial performance improved or worsened for these three retailers?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
