Jefferies downgraded SAFEWAY (NYSE: SWY) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $17.00 (from $21.00).
Analyst, Scott A. Mushkin, said, "We are downgrading SWY as sales upside driven by just for U appears limited. In addition, industry fundamentals are weakening, in part due to higher gas prices and an acceleration of competitive openings, which may be compounded by a spike in food inflation. With the near-term catalysts seemingly gone, and no additional company-specific or macro drivers on the horizon, valuation remains a lone positive for the equity."
FY12 from $2.00 to $1.94 and FY13 from $2.32 to $2.15.
