Established dividend payer and good value

WBA's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish.

Compared to the rest of the consumer retailing industry, WBA is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This further reaffirms that WBA is potentially undervalued.
