By Joshua Franklin and Chibuike Oguh NEW YORK, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Southeastern Grocers Inc SEGR.N, the operator of U.S. supermarket chains Winn-Dixie and Harveys, decided on Thursday to cancel its initial public offering due to a lack of demand at the price range the company was targeting, a person familiar with the matter said. Jacksonville, Florida-based Southeastern Grocers had aimed to sell 8.9 million shares on Thursday at a target price range of $14-$16 per share, raising up to $142.4 million for the company. | And so with ACI crossing above that average target price of $19.79/share, investors in ACI have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $19.79 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table? In recent trading, shares of Albertsons Companies Inc (Symbol: ACI) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $19.79, changing hands for $20.42/share. But the whole reason to look at the average ACI price target in the first place is to tap into a ""wisdom of crowds"" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. | DoorDash has already partnered with large supermarket chain owner Albertsons Companies (NYSE: ACI) to deliver groceries to customers at home, showing the initiative is already underway. While it might seem counterintuitive to ponder if food delivery service DoorDash Inc. (NYSE: DASH) can make a turnaround just slightly more than a month after its Dec. 9, 2020, IPO, the company's extremely high stock valuation when it went public raises the question of whether it will rise or sink from here. DoorDash's universal delivery strategy If food delivery was the sum total of DoorDash's future potential, the stock very likely wouldn't do anything exciting in 2021 or 2022, and its price might fall well below its IPO level. | What happened Shares of Albertsons (NYSE: ACI) are tumbling 11.4% in afternoon trading Thursday, after Evercore analyst Michael Montani downgraded the supermarket giant to in-line from outperform. Albertsons goes for 11 times next year's earnings estimates compared with Kroger at 14 times estimates and 25 times for Walmart. Now what Although a number of other analysts also downgraded Albertsons earlier in the month, one from Northcoast Research reiterated his buy rating on the retailer two weeks ago, saying the grocer's third-quarter earnings ""did not disappoint"" while raising his earnings estimates for the current fiscal year and for next year, too." 2021-01-27,19.290000915527344,20.420000076293945,-11.3464448242897,, 2021-01-26,18.38999938964844,19.5,5.857952862288447,, 2021-01-25,17.40999984741211,18.59000015258789,6.035892589405782,, 2021-01-22,17.299999237060547,17.5,6.7777157697745825,"Albertsons Companies, Inc.
