ACI Stock Recent News

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Albertsons Companies' (ACI) stock have provided a pleasant hedge against market volatility and were able to exceed their quarterly expectations on Wednesday.

ACI's fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results showcase strong year-over-year growth in digital sales, pharmacy operations and membership in its loyalty program.

Albertsons Companies, Inc.'s sales outlook remains stable, with fair Q4 comparable growth and a similar FY2025 guidance. The company's margin outlook is concerning as the gross margin declined 45 basis points in Q4, and profitability is guided to decline further in FY2025. Albertsons' productivity initiatives seem likely to be pushed into lower pricing, and digital sales growth seems to be cannibalizing higher-margin physical sales.

Grocery giant Albertsons says inflationary pressures continue to push its shoppers to seek value. The company on Tuesday (April 15) released earnings showing 24% upticks in digital sales for the quarter and full fiscal year.
