What are Wall Street analysts saying about Supervalu stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Supervalu stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "SUPERVALU is battling persistent softness in its retail segment, stemming from stiff competition and intense promotions. As a result, the company has been resorting to retail store closures. Recently, the company unveiled plans to shutter its Shop ‘n Save and Shop ‘n Save East retail businesses, concurrent to its fourth-quarter fiscal 2018 earnings announcement. Well, SUPERVALU continued to battle the aforementioned retail woes during the quarter where its dismal gross margin trend lingered — thanks to unfavorable mix. These hurdles may continue to weigh on SUPERVALU's stock. Nonetheless, the company continued to witness steady growth in its wholesale business, which posted sales growth of a solid 60% during the quarter. This surge was largely backed by buyouts of AG Florida and Unified Grocers. Further, the company is on-track to strengthen its wholesale operations." (6/19/2018)
- 2. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We estimate that SVU will have around $90 million of after-tax/levered FCF available to pay down additional debt in FY19. Based on a target multiple of 5.0x for retail and 6.0x for the wholesale segment and our revised $464 million EBITDA est. for FY19, our new price target is $24 (still reflecting close to 70% upside). Risks – Supervalu is vulnerable to any potential slowdown in sector fundamentals and company specific execution issues." (4/23/2018)
