Telsey keeps Hold on Albertsons Companies stock at USD 13 target
Published on 10/02/2026 at 20:35 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSTelsey Advisory analyst Joe Feldman maintained a Hold rating on Albertsons Companies and set a USD 13.00 target on October 1, 2026, according to Markets Insider. Albertsons Companies stock stood at EUR 10.39 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 8:32 p.m. CEST.
Leadership change meets analyst caution
Albertsons appointed Cody Perdue interim chief financial officer effective September 30, 2026, after Sharon McCollam announced plans to retire later this year, StockTitan reported. The same filing said three directors will join the board effective October 14, expanding it from 11 to 14 members.
The management transition adds a concrete governance issue to the analyst view. Feldman's USD 13.00 target is USD 1.30 above the USD 11.70 primary-exchange quote from October 2, a difference of 11.11 percent, while the euro reference price uses a separate Lang & Schwarz venue.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Albertsons reported revenue of USD 24.94 billion, up from USD 24.88 billion in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 0.24 percent, according to StockTitan. Net income fell to USD 84.7 million from USD 236.4 million, a decline of 64.17 percent.
Adjusted net income was USD 210.3 million, down from USD 318.9 million, while adjusted earnings per share fell to USD 0.42 from USD 0.55. The fiscal 2026 outlook calls for adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.75 to USD 1.85, below the earlier USD 2.22 to USD 2.32 range.
Results date sets the next test
