Aug 6 (Reuters) - Dutch supermarket group Ahold Delhaize AD.AS reported a second-quarter profit margin that matched market expectations on Wednesday, saying strong performance in Europe was offset by the impact of the first-time consolidation of Profi and strategic U.S. price investments.
The group, which operates the Stop & Shop, Giant, Food Lion and Hannaford chains in the U.S. and the Albert Heijn and Delhaize chains in the Netherlands and Belgium, reported an underlying operating margin of 4% for the April-June period. Analysts polled by it had expected the same.
Ahold Delhaize reiterated its full year guidance for 2025.
