Albertsons has issued a forecast for its annual sales that falls below Wall Street expectations, citing significant pressure from fierce competition as larger rivals implement aggressive discounting strategies. The company expects its identical sales growth for fiscal 2026 to be between flat and 1%, which is lower than the 1.58% increase predicted by analysts.
