Investigation Details
A 22% drop hit Albertsons Companies shares on July 23, 2026, after the Company cut FY 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $1.75-$1.85 from $2.22-$2.32.
On April 14, 2026, CFO Sharon McCollam told investors that adjusted EPS was expected “to be in the range of $2.22 to $2.32,” including approximately $600 million of share repurchases. CEO Susan Morris stated that Albertsons was entering fiscal 2026 from a position of “confidence, clarity and momentum.” The July 23 update cut the adjusted EPS range by roughly 20% at the midpoint.
Albertsons’ April 27, 2026 Form 10-K identified pharmacy reimbursement pressure, the potential impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act and macroeconomic uncertainty as material risks to the Company’s business and financial performance.
