Fundamental quality

WEAK

28

out of 100

Albertsons Companies, Inc. earns a fundamental-quality score of 28 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 3.28× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +3.4%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Albertsons is America's second pure supermarket chain: Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco and some twenty regional banners. After courts blocked its merger with Kroger, it competes alone again in retail's most merciless business: selling food at penny margins.

What will shape its future

  • The price war with Walmart, Costco and Kroger, its every-aisle reality.
  • Private brands and pharmacy, where it scrapes the margin food doesn't give.
  • Its post-failed-merger course: efficiency, asset sales or a new suitor.
