Walgreens raises forecasts and posts higher sales and profits

The Deerfield, Ill., drugstore chain said sales and profits rose in its latest quarter, and raised its full-year forecast as demand for Covid-19 vaccines and at-home tests continued to draw customers to its stores.

Walgreens said it administered 15.6 million Covid-19 vaccinations in the latest quarter, which ended Nov. 30, and provided 6.5 million Covid-19 tests, including over-the-counter at-home tests. The chain said it now expects to administer 30 million vaccines this year, up from 25 million, as booster shots get approved for more groups.
