Albertsons reports Q2 FY2026 results and withdraws FY26 outlook amid turnaround review

Albertsons Companies posted second‑quarter fiscal 2026 net sales of $18.895 billion, a 0.1% year‑over‑year decline. Net income fell to $51.5 million, or $0.11 per share, while adjusted earnings per share were $0.36. Identical sales slipped 0.8% and digital sales grew 11%. The retailer announced a comprehensive business review, accelerated cost‑savings efforts and suspended its FY2026 financial guidance.

The withdrawal of the FY26 outlook removes the company’s forward‑looking guidance, increasing uncertainty for investors and making the quarter’s results the primary reference point for valuation. The decline in net income and modest adjusted EPS highlight ongoing profitability pressure despite the turnaround initiatives.
