Bulls say / Bears say
U.S. online sales rose 14.5% in Q2, while Ahold Delhaize reported market-share gains across its U.S. brands, showing that its omnichannel offer is attracting customers despite a difficult market. (Reuters, Ahold Delhaize)
European sales grew 2.6% at constant exchange rates in Q2 and comparable sales rose 1.7%; Albert Heijn and Delhaize also gained share in Belgium, giving the group a source of growth beyond the U.S. (Belga Share, Ahold Delhaize)
Management is targeting at least €1.25 billion of cost savings in 2026 and reaffirmed full-year guidance, including free cash flow of at least €2.3 billion and mid- to high-single-digit underlying EPS growth at constant exchange rates. (Ahold Delhaize, Ahold Delhaize)
U.S. underlying operating margin fell 20 basis points to 4.2% in Q2, as price investments and higher utility costs weighed on profit. Continued discounting to defend market share could keep the largest region’s margins under pressure. (Supermarket News, Reuters)
SNAP benefit reductions and pharmacy pricing changes continued to weigh on U.S. sales, alongside lower egg prices; management expects the pharmacy effect to persist and estimates SNAP will reduce full-year growth by 60–80 basis points. (Supermarket News, Grocery Dive)
Dutch food prices have moved into outright decline, which may force more promotions to protect sales and squeeze margins. RBC has trimmed its longer-term profit and earnings estimates by 1% to 2%. (Finimize)
