Description: ACI Albertsons Companies October 30, 2025
Albertsons Companies, Inc. (NYSE: ACI) is a U.S.-based food and drug retailer that runs a network of more than 2,200 stores under banners such as Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco and others. Its offerings span grocery, general merchandise, health-and-beauty items, pharmacy services, fuel, in-store coffee shops, and a proprietary line of processed foods sold through its own manufacturing and distribution facilities. The company also operates digital platforms for e-commerce, curbside pickup and delivery, and maintains a nationwide logistics infrastructure of distribution centers.
Key operating metrics from the most recent fiscal year show comparable store sales growth of roughly 3.5% year-over-year, while the combined-store net sales reached about $78 billion, delivering an operating margin near 3.4%. Inflation-driven pricing pressure and a tight labor market remain primary economic drivers, but Albertsons has mitigated these factors by expanding its private-label portfolio (which now accounts for ~15% of sales) and increasing its digital sales share to roughly 6% of total revenue. The grocery sector’s overall low-margin dynamics and the trend toward omnichannel fulfillment are also shaping the company’s strategic focus.
For a deeper dive into Albertsons’ valuation nuances-such as cash-flow forecasts, peer-adjusted multiples, and scenario-based sensitivity analyses-explore the detailed analysis on ValueRay, where you can model the impact of these drivers on the stock’s upside potential.
