Albertsons Companies: This Plunge Puts It On Sale

  • Albertsons delivered strong revenue and digital growth, beating expectations on sales and adjusted EPS, yet the stock remains undervalued after a market overreaction. Management raised identical sales guidance, continues aggressive share buybacks, and is executing a $1.5 billion cost reduction plan, supporting long-term upside. Albertsons trades at a significant discount to peers on earnings and cash flow metrics, with the lowest net leverage among comparable grocery chains.
