Best Buy: CVS Health, Walgreens, or Rite Aid?

Three pharmacy retailers combined make more than 40% of all revenue from prescriptions in the U.S. CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) and Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ: WBA) are the nation's largest pharmacy chains, with Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) lagging behind.

None of these pharmacy stocks have performed well so far in 2017. CVS Health's share price is barely above where it started the year, and Walgreens stock is actually down year to date. Then there's Rite Aid, which has seen its stock plunge more than 70% after a potential acquisition by Walgreens was scrapped.

Still, though, there's a case to be made for buying each one of these stocks. But which is the best buy among the three? Here's how CVS Health, Walgreens, and Rite Aid compare.
