Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on SUPERVALU (NYSE: SVU) price target of $6.50 (from $8.00).

Analyst, Meredith Adler, said, "We believe the company is taking the necessary steps to improve its operations and it will also continue to pay down debt. Steps include lowering its prices but funding these investments through more efficient promotions, better vendor negotiations, reduced shrink, and a more streamlined corporate organization...Meanwhile, we believe the overhang of fiscal 2015-2017 debt maturities will weigh on the stock. Given these concerns and risks we are lowering our price target to $6.50."
