Ahold Delhaize stock (ISIN NL0011794037) was trading at EUR 31.73 on Euronext Amsterdam on October 6, 2026, up 0.86 percent from the previous close. The company has scheduled its Q3 2026 results for November 4, keeping the next earnings update central to the share story.

November results set the checkpoint

Ahold Delhaize lists November 4, 2026, as the date for its Q3 2026 results. The company published its Q2 figures on August 5, 2026, making the upcoming release the next scheduled test of sales trends and margins.

In Q2 2026, revenue reached EUR 23.17 billion, compared with EUR 23.09 billion a year earlier, while net profit fell to EUR 526 million from EUR 548 million, according to Markets Insider. Revenue therefore increased 0.35 percent, while net profit declined 4.01 percent on the same comparison.

Analyst targets pull in different directions

Citi lowered its Ahold Delhaize price target to EUR 35 from EUR 37.20 and kept a Neutral rating in a report dated October 5, 2026, as Markets Insider reported. JPMorgan separately cut its target to EUR 22.63 from EUR 24.07 and retained an Underweight rating on October 1, 2026, according to finanzen.ch.

The published consensus remains more constructive than JPMorgan's view. Marketscreener lists an average target of EUR 38.58, an Outperform consensus from 19 analysts, and a reference close of EUR 31.25 in its September 24, 2026 update, putting the average target 23.46 percent above that reference price, according to Marketscreener.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Ahold stock's October 6 intraday range was EUR 31.53 to EUR 31.86, with volume at 491,496 shares. The 52-week range of EUR 30.34 to EUR 42.54 places the EUR 31.73 price 25.41 percent below the high and 4.58 percent above the low.

Market capitalization stood at EUR 28.0 billion on October 6, 2026. The combination of modest Q2 revenue growth, lower net profit, and a scheduled November results date makes the next report the clearest near-term test for the stock.
