Ahold Delhaize 2Q25: Solid results with price investments paying off, reiterates outlook
Ahold Delhaize reported a solid set of 2Q25 results, with comparable sales growth of 3.4% in the US (css: +3.1%) and +4.9% in the EU (css: +3.8%) exceeding expectations. While group margins contracted by 20bps to 4.0%, this was well anticipated on the back of ongoing price investments in the US and the dilutive impact from the consolidation of Profi in the EU. As such, the underlying group EBIT of € 917m came in slightly ahead of expectations (css: € 908m, css: € 905m). Following the solid 2Q25, the group also reiterated its outlook for 2025.
