The announcement by Amazon On November 17, 2020 that it was starting an online Pharmacy sent pharmacy stocks tumbling. CVS shares fell 8.6% on Tuesday. Walgreens Boots Alliance dropped 9.6%. Shares of Rite Aid slid 16.2%. GoodRx, which helps consumers find discounts on prescription drugs, fell 22.5%. You can read the full announcement here.
