Axfood stock falls after profit and revenue miss

Axfood reported an adjusted operating profit of SEK 972m and revenue of SEK 23.2bn for the second quarter, both below IBES consensus estimates. The stock then dropped about 10.7% and hit a 52-week low as investors criticized ongoing market share losses in the Swedish grocery retail sector and the company’s already high valuation. Competitors are being watched for potential follow-on effects, but the slump appears largely company-specific. Investors are now focusing on management comments in today’s presentation for signs of a strategic change in course. » More on de.investing.com
