Supermarket operator Supervalu Inc. on Thursday cut its profit guidance for the year, citing softer-than-expected second-quarter results in its traditional and discount grocery segments.
The company said it now expects adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization—a widely-used profitability measure—to fall about 5% in the current fiscal year. It had previously expected the measure to decline 1.5%.
Supervalu shares fell 5.7% in premarket trading.
Supervalu said its retail segment, which consists of traditional grocery stores, was hurt by competitive openings and a challenging sales and operating environment in the quarter. In the company's discount grocery store, Save-A-Lot, results were hurt by deflation and lower levels of government benefits compared with the first quarter.
The company expects these factors to affect the second half of the fiscal year as well.
Supervalu is exploring selling or spinning off its Save-A-Lot division.

Het is vervelend wellicht voor Supervalu, maar als iemand in de markt een scheet laat heeft Ahold in z'n broek gescheten. Daarom is het blijkbaar zo lastig om is flink te stijgen.
ter observatie: Ahold omzet 2015: 38,2 mld. Over 2016 wellicht 62 mld plus. Schiet mij maar lek. De winstmarge wordt er niet minder op hoor, neem dat maar van me aan!
Mooie avond!
