Analyst Update: Merger Agreements, Drug Marketing Approvals, Shareholders' Approval, and Clinical Trials

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

The US stock markets on Wednesday ended on a negative note amid the tumbling crude oil prices and light volume trade. In the last trading session of 2014, S&P 500 closed at 2,058.90, down 1.03%, NASDAQ Composite declined 0.87% to 4,736.05, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged 0.89% lower to finish the day at 17,823.07. However, the European stocks wrapped up the year on a positive note and were closed for trading on December 31, 2014. The Asian markets on the other hand ended the Wednesday's trading session on a mixed note as rising concerns over Greece's political crisis rattled the markets. Further, confirmation from HSBC that its index of China's manufacturing activity had contracted in December indicated a slowing Chinese economy despite government efforts to shore up development.

Walgreen Company's (Walgreens) shareholders give their nod for the second and ultimate step related to Walgreens acquisition of the remaining 55% in Alliance Boots GmbH.

A further detailed analysis of shareholders vote and the proposed reorganization is available in our research report on Walgreens.
