Ahold Delhaize's Targets Are Broadly as Expected -- Market Talk

Dow Jones02-12

0831 GMT - Ahold Delhaize's outlook for this year came broadly as expected, Jefferies analysts write in a research note. For 2025, the Dutch grocer guides for an EBIT margin of around 4%, in line with consensus estimates. Earnings per share are expected to rise by mid- to high-single-digit, while consensus estimates expect growth of 9%. "We expect [consensus] to remain at the upper end of this range," Jefferies says. However, the build in free cash flow seems limited, they say. The company targets at least 2.2 billion euros after achieving 2.55 billion euros in 2024. Shares are down 4.8% at 34.04 euros.
