Drug stores such as Caremark Corporation and Walgreen Co. could be relatively well positioned for growth this year. The potential of generic drugs is massive, with the number of expected patent expirations for the year exceeding the past five years combined by more than double. This could positively drive up margins for industry players, many of whom also stand to benefit from efficiency initiatives implemented during recession lows taking effect.

Retention remains a key issue for drug stores as competition in the industry is intense. Last quarter, CVS reported an impressive 98 percent retention rate. Meanwhile, Walgreens recently secured an extended multi-year agreement with OptumRx, providing continued access for members of prescription drug benefit plans managed by OptumRx. To see how companies in this industry have grown over the past years and how they are expected to perform in the future, please visit the link below.

However, there remain some potential headwinds in sight. The merger of two out of the three biggest U.S. drug benefit managers, Express Script and Medco, has given rise to a leading force in pharmacy benefits management, which may create a hurdle for certain drug stores' pharmacy services business.
