Ahold Delhaize: Invest Securities adjusts target price

(CercleFinance.com) - Invest Securities reinstates its "buy" rating on Ahold Delhaize shares, trimming its target price for them from 30.
9 euros to 29.4 euros, after Q1 that showed resilience in the group's performance, albeit with a marked contrast between the US and Europe.

While analysts acknowledge that it had largely underestimated the base effects that weighed on production in Benelux countries, it noted that the consolidated adjusted EBIT margin of 4.2% is perfectly in line with the trajectory that the group had initially projected for the full year.

Q2 is in the same vein, with apparent sales performance improved by inflation, which the group seems to be taming without any particular pressure on gross margin rates, the analyst added.
