... $JPM Sees Doom And Gloom in $GDRX ...
@LootWallStreet vehemently juxtaposes this inconceivable err.
Although Anmuth expects Amazon’s offerings to have limited near-term impact, once customers become aware of the benefits of Prime Rx’ discount card and 2-day home delivery, Anmuth expects Amazon Pharmacy will be a “direct risk over the next few years.”
As a result, Anmuth downgraded GoodRx's rating from Neutral (i.e. Hold) to Underweight (i.e. Sell). The price target gets a severe haircut, too, and is reduced from $59 to $29. The new figure implies a 23% downside from current levels.

... TRUMP $GDRX BOOM ... #LOOTWALLSTREET
TODAY @REALDONALDTRUMP WILL RUIN AMAZON PHARMACY DREAMS.
At most stops, however, Trump has at least attempted to broach one topic that pollsters have repeatedly found to be resonant with voters: the high cost of prescription drugs. And time and again, Trump has not only promised to cut them – “Drug prices will be coming down 80 or 90 percent,” he said during the first presidential debate – but insisted that, functionally, he has already done so.
Do pharmacies have to accept GoodRx?
More than 70,000 pharmacies in the United States — including major chains like Costco, Kroger, Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens — will accept GoodRx. ... Participating pharmacies are contractually obligated to accept GoodRx coupons. If your pharmacist refuses to accept them, you can call GoodRx at (855) 268-2822. - source
It’s a strong claim in an election year. Is there hard evidence to support it?
“Evidence exists – but it’s to the contrary,” said Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California, a consumer advocacy group. “Drug prices continue to go up and up, and what’s remarkable is how true that is across the board. Newer drugs, older ones, brand names, generics – the prices for all of them are climbing.”
Drug prices in the U.S. rose by 3% from 2018 to 2019, part of a 4.6% overall increase in the cost of medical care.
So say the numbers, Trump’s bluster to the contrary. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, drug prices in the U.S. rose by 3% from 2018 to 2019, part of a 4.6% overall increase in the cost of medical care in this country. By July of this year, the prescription cost site GoodRx had recorded an average price hike of nearly 7% among more than 850 brand and generic drugs for 2020.
The issue has an urgency that goes beyond the ballot. In a year of the coronavirus pandemic, with millions of Americans out of work and either absent health insurance or about to be cut from employers’ plans, every hint of a rise in costs feels epic – and continuing increases could be devastating for low and middle income families alike. But even coming into the election cycle, before COVID-19 dominated the conversation, prescription drug prices were near the top of voters’ concerns about health care. - source
