Last week, Walgreen (WAG) decided to acquire the assets of 12 Eaton Apothecary pharmacies in the Boston area from D.A.W., Inc., a subsidiary of Nyer Medical Group Inc. (NYER) for approximately $19 million. The acquisition, subject to certain terms and conditions, is expected to close within the next 90 days. Following the transaction, Nyer would liquidate. We believe the acquisition will boost the company’s revenues going forward.

Walgreen’s strong balance sheet has enabled it to grow its business through acquisitions even in the midst of recession. The company generated $852 million in the fourth quarter and $4.1 billion for the year in cash flow from operations, an increase of 55% and 35%, respectively driven by strong drugstore performance, including improved working capital. At the end of the last quarter, Walgreen had $2.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents. We had expected earlier that the company would use the available

Last week I participated in a conference hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, at which I discussed the new lending programs and asset acquisitions pursued by the Federal Reserve over the last two years. Previously I shared with Econbrowser readers empirical evidence on the effects these targeted liquidity operations seem to have had. Below I reproduce my remarks from the conference on the underlying motivation for using such measures, in which I suggested that the critical question is what was the underlying cause of the financial stress to which the Fed was responding. I distinguished between two possible interpretations of how the financial crisis arose.

Perspective 1: Everybody just panicked

The first interpretation of what went wrong is that financial markets were pricing risk correctly in 2006 but began to overprice risk in 2007. Keister and McAndrews analyzed a situation

State Street Corporation’s (STT) third quarter operating earnings of $1.05 per share were 5 cents ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Operating results for the quarter exclude $11 million in pre-tax merger and integration costs associated with the Investors Financial Services Corp. acquisition. However, the results were down 15.3% from $1.24 per share in the prior-year quarter. On a GAAP basis, earnings for the quarter came in at $1.04 per share. This compares unfavorably with earnings of $1.09 in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year decrease in earnings was due primarily to an increase in shares outstanding and decrease in revenue, partially offset by reduced expenses. Revenue for the quarter increased 5.4% sequentially but decreased 19.3% year-over-year to $2.8 billion. Operating revenue for the quarter was down 10.6% year-over-year to $2.3 billion. Operating expenses for the quarter decreased 13.2% year-over-year to $1.5 billion. Operating ...
