Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>) shares are falling in extended trading Thursday after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43355741/walgreens-boots-alliance-suspends-quarterly-dividend-as-company-continues-disciplined-execution-ag">suspended its quarterly dividend</a>.
What Happened: After the market close on Thursday, Walgreens announced its board is suspending its cash dividend as management continues to evaluate its capital allocation policy as part of a longer-term turnaround strategy.
The suspended dividend is expected to help strengthen the company&#8217;s balance sheet by reducing debt over time and improving free cash flow.
&#8220;The company&#8217;s cash needs over the next several years, including with respect to litigation and debt refinancing, were important considerations as part of the decision to suspend the dividend,&#8221; the company said. 
&#8220;WBA leadership remains focused on successfully executing against its strategic priorities and maintaining financial discipline, which it believes will deliver sustained value creation over the long term.&#8221;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy WBA Stock</h1>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Walgreens — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. 
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
WBA Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/wba">Walgreens shares</a> were down 7.77% after-hours, trading at $10.52 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

&#8220;I want to thank the entire Boot Barn team for their excellent execution and dedication during a busy holiday season, which resulted in strong third-quarter results and earnings per diluted share above the high end of our guidance range. The strength we saw in the business was once again driven by broad-based growth across all major merchandise categories, channels and geographies, resulting in a consolidated same-store sales increase of 8.6%,&#8221; said John Hazen, Interim CEO.
&#8220;We also grew total sales 16.9% compared to the prior-year period, driven in part by the 13 new stores we opened in the third quarter and the 39 new stores we have opened year-to-date through our third fiscal quarter,&#8221; Hazen added. 
Outlook:&nbsp;Boot Barn raised its fiscal 2025 GAAP EPS guidance from a range of&nbsp;$5.30 to $5.60 to a range of $5.81 to $5.90, versus the&nbsp;$5.76&nbsp;estimate, and raised its fiscal 2025 sales guidance from a range of $1.87 billion to $1.91 billion to&nbsp;a range of $1.91 billion to $1.92 billion, versus the $1.91 billion estimate. 
BOOT Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Boot Barn Holdings shares are down 6.60% after-hours at $163 on Thursday.
