Grocer Albertsons raises annual sales forecast on steady demand for essentials
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – Albertsons raised its 2025 sales forecast with 25% digital sales growth and 20% pharmacy sales increase driving steady demand amid economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures.
- Albertsons raised its annual identical sales forecast to 2%–2.75% after beating first-quarter estimates with $24.88 billion in sales ending June 14, 2025.
- This growth followed CEO Susan Morris's May leadership, investments in pharmacy and digital businesses, and steady demand for essentials despite inflation pressures.
- Cottage cheese sales contributed to growth, driven by higher protein diets, GLP-1 drug users, and TikTok trends, with U.S. per capita consumption rising from 1.9 pounds in 2021 to 2.1 pounds in 2023.
- Morris said, "I had to double check the numbers" seeing cottage cheese sales; pharmacy customers visit four times more often and significantly boost grocery purchases.
- Albertsons's raised forecast and strong pharmacy, ecommerce, and private label growth imply continued competitive advantage amid overall retail sector uncertainty and pressure from tariffs.
