As of October 17, 2026, Albertsons Cos Inc scores 3.9 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of low quality. Scores this low usually reflect thin margins, a stretched balance sheet or an erratic record, and the pillars below show which. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is Albertsons Cos Inc’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Among the 71 Consumer Staples companies with a published score, that ranks at the 16th percentile, among the weakest quarter of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 5.8 and a company needs 6.8 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Albertsons Cos Inc well below the median.
Albertsons Cos Inc’s profitability score is 2.0 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.7 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is well below the group and the 19th percentile. A low reading here is the first thing to explain: it is the pillar most closely tied to whether the business creates value at all.
Solvency scores 2.6 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 65 Consumer Staples companies is 6.9, so Albertsons Cos Inc is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 5th percentile. A low reading here is a question about resilience: how long the company could keep paying its obligations if earnings dropped.
On growth, Albertsons Cos Inc scores 1.3, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 67 Consumer Staples companies, which places it well below them, at the 10th percentile. A low growth score is common for large, established companies and is not a verdict on quality on its own, but it limits how the business can compound.
Efficiency scores 8.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 68 Consumer Staples companies is 6.7, so Albertsons Cos Inc is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 84th percentile. A strong efficiency reading usually shows up as healthy cash conversion: reported profit arriving as real cash rather than staying on the balance sheet.
Albertsons Cos Inc’s predictability score is 7.2 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.1 among 71 Consumer Staples companies, that is above the group and the 84th percentile. Steady results like these are what make a long term view of the business easier to hold.
The gap between Albertsons Cos Inc’s best and worst pillar is wide: efficiency at 8.0 against growth at 1.3, 6.7 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
Closing the gap on solvency would do the most for the overall. At the median of Consumer Staples companies, 6.9, Albertsons Cos Inc would score about 4.8 instead of 3.9. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Albertsons Cos Inc has a reading on every pillar.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
