Albertsons Companies: Strategic Progress and Growth Potential Justify Buy RatingWe think ACI showed progress with its turnaround in 2Q, while its announcement of a $750 mm ASR helped to support the co's share price gains on the day. Importantly, we believe it's setting the foundation to reach its longer term algo in FY'26 and beyond. It's continuing to make surgical price investments in select categories & markets. It should see benefits from its centralized buying initiative accelerate in FY'26 and FY'27. Plus, we expect for it to benefit from its store footprint review, which can help to make sure it's operating in optimal locations. Still, ACI's near term valuation is likely to be impacted by recent industry pressures, including heightened price competition & some trade down. Plus, the consumer environment remains uneven, and the government shut down just adds to the uncertainty.

Albertsons Companies: Hold Rating Amidst Stabilized EBITDA, Growth Challenges, and Strategic Financial MovesWe are Equal-weight rated as we see a balanced risk/reward with ~45%/~33% upside/downside to our bull/bear cases and ~4% upside to our unchanged $20 PT. We believe adjusted EBITDA is set to stabilize in '25e, but expect any growth in ‘26e and beyond to be muted and subject to the competitive environment, which is intensifying. With ID sales growth of 2.2%, core grocery ID sales, excluding Pharmacy, decelerated modestly Q/Q (we estimate to - 0.1% in 2Q25 from +0.5% in 1Q25), as unit declines offset inflation, and we do not expect to see an acceleration near-term.
