Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 9, 2018 Albertson's + Rite Aid merger called off, leaving analysts wondering if Rite Aid has much of a future. “The termination of the merger with Albertsons leaves Rite-Aid at a big disadvantage as it neither has the scale nor the balance sheet to compete with much larger and well-capitalized rivals like CVS and Walgreens,” Moodys Vice President Mickey Chadha wrote. “Although the termination is also a big blow to Albertsons’ long-desired goal to go public, it is in a better competitive position in the supermarket space than Rite-Aid is in the retail pharmacy sector."
