Deutsche Bank Sees Potential 'Dramatic Negative Inflection Point' For Rite Aid


27% profits every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his options buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads... BUYING options. Most traders don't even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here's how he does it.


  • Ahead of the Company's fiscal Q4 results on April 14, Deutsche Bank downgraded Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE:RAD) to Sell from Hold with a price target of $1, down from $16.
  • Analyst George Hill believes COVID has "hastened the decline" for the Company, and he sees the potential for a "dramatic negative inflection point" as Rite Aid's preliminary fiscal 2023 outlook "seems to be unattainable." 
  • The key investor focus will be Rite Aid's guidance for FY 23. The analyst writes in a research note that the Company has previously indicated it could generate well over $430 million in EBITDA. 
  • At a number below $400 million, the equity "arguably has no value as the company is not in a position to generate real returns to shareholders," says the analyst.

  • Beyond Meat Inc (NASDAQ:BYNDintroduced the Beyond Burger and Beyond Meatballs at approximately Rite Aid 2,000 stores nationwide. 
  • Earlier this week, Rite Aid said that people with Medicare Part B could visit any Rite Aid location and receive up to eight OTC COVID-19 tests every month at no cost.
  • As part of the Medicare COVID-19 Over-the-Counter Test Initiative, people covered by Medicare Part B can bring their red, white, and blue Medicare card to any Rite Aid location to receive their no-cost tests. 
  • Beneficiaries can get up to eight free, over-the-counter tests, or Flow Flex tests, per calendar month through the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE).
  • Price Action: RAD shares are down 21.40% at $6.64 during the market session on the last check Thursday.
