Albertsons Companies, Inc. Overview

Pro stress-test →

Albertsons Companies, Inc. is a leading grocery retailer in the United States, operating a diverse range of food and drug stores under various well-known brands. As of 2026, the company maintains a footprint of over 2,200 stores across 34 states and the District of Columbia under 20 well-known banners, including Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's, and Acme. Following the collapse of its proposed merger with Kroger (late 2024), Albertsons has emerged as a focused, standalone competitor in American grocery retail.

Strategic Profile

Pro stress-test →

Under the leadership of Susan Morris, Albertsons is doubling down on its strengths: regional density, high-quality private labels, and a sophisticated digital media business. The company is scaling its Media Collective as a high-margin revenue stream to provide a significant cushion for its lower-margin grocery business. The company is a cash-flow-positive business trading at a discount to its peers, with a clear path toward margin improvement through technological investment.

Competitive Landscape

Pro stress-test →

Albertsons reported fiscal 2026 revenue of $83.17 billion, up 3.46% year-over-year. The company competes directly with Kroger, Walmart, and regional grocers in a highly competitive market characterized by aggressive discounting and pricing pressure. Albertsons differentiates through regional density, private label brands, and its emerging retail media network.
