Walgreens left its full-year outlook unchanged at low-single digit growth in adjusted EPS versus analysts at 2.30%. Speaking with CNBC’s Bertha Coombs, CEO Roz Brewer agreed that inflation remained a headwind but said supply pressures were somewhat easing.
Supply chain is improving. I’m seeing some improvement there. What I’d love to see more is on the inflation side, where, unfortunately we’re having to pass some of that on to the customers. But we are also looking at ways to reduce our cost to offset inflation.
