Rhea AI ACI FY2026 2026-10-24

Albertsons grows sales, but rising operating costs and shareholder payouts leave a thinner profit cushion and a more leveraged balance sheet.

Across FY2023-FY2026, revenue rose 7.1% while operating margin fell 2.1 percentage points, showing that cost growth absorbed sales gains rather than improving profitability. In FY2026, operating cash flow was 1088.6% of net income, indicating that reported earnings were compressed far more than the cash economics of the business.

The balance sheet is heavily liability-funded: liabilities were 93.1% of assets in FY2026, while debt-to-equity reached 4.6x. Equity fell 45.8% and the current ratio was 0.9x, leaving less balance-sheet flexibility than the prior year.

FY2026 capital spending was $1.84B against free cash flow of $527M, so reinvestment consumed more cash than the business retained after spending. Buybacks of $1.48B plus dividends of $323M exceeded that free cash flow, alongside liabilities rising 6.7%.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Albertsons Companies, Inc.'s business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Albertsons Companies, Inc. has an operating margin of 0.9%, meaning the company retains $1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 44/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 1.9% the prior year.

Growth

Albertsons Companies, Inc.'s revenue grew a modest 3.5% year-over-year to $83.2B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 40/100.

Leverage

Albertsons Companies, Inc. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 4.58), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 20/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Albertsons Companies, Inc.'s current ratio of 0.86 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 13/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

While Albertsons Companies, Inc. generated $2.4B in operating cash flow, capex of $1.8B consumed most of it, leaving $527.3M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 28/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Albertsons Companies, Inc.'s ROE of 11.8% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 56/100. This is down from 28.3% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

3.38

Albertsons Companies, Inc. scores 3.38, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The largest contribution to the score comes from revenue of $83.2B against total assets of $26.8B. This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

5/9

Albertsons Companies, Inc. passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 operating efficiency signals passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

10.89x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Albertsons Companies, Inc. generates $10.89 in operating cash flow ($2.4B OCF vs $217.4M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk

1.60x

Albertsons Companies, Inc. earns $1.60 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($727.6M vs $454.6M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
