Albertsons Companies (ISIN US0130911037) was trading at EUR 10.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026, while its USD 11.55 NYSE indication stood 42.25 percent below the USD 20.00 52-week high. On September 30, 2026, Albertsons Companies appointed Cody Perdue interim chief financial officer, replacing Sharon McCollam, who will remain an adviser through February 27, 2027.

Interim CFO takes finance role

Perdue retains responsibility for treasury, investor relations and risk management while the company searches for a permanent CFO. The filing also states that he will receive an annual stipend of USD 350,000 during the interim assignment, giving the transition a specific cost and a clear time frame.

The same September 30 filing recorded three director appointments effective October 14, 2026, expanding the board from 11 to 14 members. The SEC filing identifies ACI as listed on the New York Stock Exchange and names William P. Boltz, Chris Drumgoole and Margaret M. Ham as the incoming directors.

Results set the earnings hurdle

Albertsons entered the transition after a mixed first-quarter fiscal 2026. Revenue for the 16 weeks ended June 20, 2026, was USD 24.94 billion, up from USD 24.88 billion a year earlier, while adjusted earnings per share fell to USD 0.42 from USD 0.55. StockTitan reports that adjusted EBITDA declined to USD 1.013 billion from USD 1.111 billion and identical sales fell 0.80 percent.

That operating comparison matters because the company reduced fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings guidance to USD 1.75-1.85 per share from USD 2.22-2.32. The next scheduled report is for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended September 12, 2026, and is due before the market opens on October 13, 2026, according to Joplin Globe.
