Considering this, is Rite Aid closing stores in 2020?
Rite Aid CEO Heyward Donigan made the announcement on Monday during a phone call with analysts. Rite Aid says it plans to keep its stores opened and is cleaning often especially around checkouts and bathrooms. “We do not have any plans for store closures or altered store hours,” Donigan said.
Why is Rite Aid stock so low?
The key is Rite Aid's stock is still roughly 30% lower than it was at the beginning of 2019. This clubbed with 0.7% growth in total shares meant its revenue per share grew marginally from $409 to $412. So what explains the drop in stock price is primarily the company's P/S ratio.
