This Is What Whales Are Betting On Walgreens Boots Alliance

Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil complaint against Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>) and its subsidiaries, alleging widespread violations of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and False Claims Act (FCA).
In a statement, Walgreens <a target="_blank" href="https://www.walgreensbootsalliance.com/news-media/press-releases/2025/walgreens-response-department-justice-opioid-lawsuit" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>, &#8220;We are asking the court to clarify the responsibilities of pharmacies and pharmacists and to protect against the government&#8217;s attempt to enforce arbitrary &#8220;rules&#8221; that do not appear in any law or regulation and never went through any official rulemaking process. We will not stand by and allow the government to put our pharmacists in a no-win situation, trying to comply with &#8220;rules&#8221; that simply do not exist.&#8221;
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-files-nationwide-lawsuit-alleging-walgreens-knowingly-filled-millions" rel="noreferrer noopener">complaint</a> claims that Walgreens dispensed millions of unlawful prescriptions, including opioids, and sought reimbursements from federal health care programs for prescriptions that were improperly filled.
The allegations span from 2012 to the present, targeting Walgreens&#8217; role in fueling the opioid crisis.
Federal officials contend that Walgreens pharmacists knowingly filled prescriptions with clear signs of being unlawful, such as excessive quantities of opioids, early refills, and dangerous combinations like the &#8220;trinity,&#8221; consisting of an opioid, benzodiazepine, and muscle relaxant.
According to the lawsuit, Walgreens prioritized speed over accuracy, pressuring pharmacists to fill prescriptions without verifying their legitimacy and preventing them from sharing critical information about prescribers.
The government alleges that Walgreens&#8217; actions contributed to the opioid crisis, including instances where patients overdosed and died shortly after filling prescriptions at Walgreens stores.
If found liable, Walgreens could face civil penalties of up to $80,850 per unlawful prescription, treble damages, and further penalties for reimbursement claims under the FCA.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton stated, &#8220;This lawsuit seeks to hold Walgreens accountable for the many years that it failed to meet its obligations when dispensing dangerous opioids and other drugs.&#8221; He emphasized that Walgreens systematically ignored red flags and allowed millions of controlled substances to flow unlawfully from its stores.
Four whistleblowers, former Walgreens employees, brought the case under the qui tam provisions of the FCA, enabling the government to intervene.
Price Action: WBA stock is down 13.4% at $10.84 at last check Tuesday.

Walgreens Boots Alliance's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NYSE">WBA</a>) short percent of float has fallen 19.94% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Walgreens Boots Alliance has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Walgreens Boots Alliance's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Walgreens Boots Alliance's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 0.18%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
