Delhaize Group (DEG) in Focus: Stock Tumbles 7% – Tale of the Tape

Zacks

Etablissements Delhaize Frères et Cie "Le Lion" (Groupe Delhaize) SA (DEG) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell by over 7% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, trading at a volatile range of $21.78–$24.55 in the past one-month time frame, showed a sharp decline yesterday at $22.83.

The retail company has seen a flat track record when it comes to current year estimate revisions over the past few weeks and the consensus for earnings hasn’t been in a trend either. This recent price action is discouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future, and especially on earnings estimates following the recent slump.

DEG currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

Another better-ranked stock in the same sector is Jeronimo Martins SGPS SA (JRONY) with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
