Description: ACI Albertsons Companies January 02, 2026

Albertsons Companies (NYSE: ACI) is a U.S. food and drug retailer operating 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 stations, in-store coffee shops, and private-label food manufacturing, supported by a national distribution and digital platform.

Key performance indicators to watch include same-store sales (comparable store growth), which has hovered around 2-3% YoY in recent quarters, and the companys operating margin of roughly 2.5%-both pressured by inflation-driven input costs and competitive pricing. A significant sector driver is the rise of e-commerce grocery, where Albertsons’ digital sales now represent about 12% of total revenue, while fuel price volatility continues to affect its ancillary fuel-center earnings.

For a data-driven, deeper dive into Albertsons’ valuation metrics and scenario analysis, the ValueRay platform provides a comprehensive toolkit worth exploring.
