美国大型杂货连锁店艾伯森（Albertsons）今日股价表现低迷，盘中大跌8.51%，主要原因是公司发布的年度利润预期低于市场预期。
根据公司最新公告，艾伯森预计本财年每股利润将在2.03美元至2.16美元之间，而分析师此前预期为每股2.28美元。这一预期意味着公司利润可能较去年下降0.5%，显示出公司面临的经营压力。尽管艾伯森第四季度业绩超出预期，但年度展望令投资者失望。
艾伯森的谨慎态度反映了整个零售业的普遍状况。由于美国通胀率居高不下以及宏观经济的不确定性，消费者的购买行为变得更加谨慎。为应对这一趋势，艾伯森表示将增加对商品销售和门店的投资，包括提供更多折扣、改造门店以及加强会员忠诚度计划，以推动销售增长。然而，这些投资也将增加成本压力，导致分析师下调了对公司今年的利润预期。
