The savings plan could lower costs and help Albertsons compete. But it is a goal, not money already saved, and it does not fix the weak sales and market-share trends reported here. Albertsons also generated $1.2 billion in operating cash flow and repurchased $400 million in shares. Those strengths matter, but they do not outweigh its stated shortfall in sales and profit growth.
