Nov 5 (Reuters) - Dutch supermarket group Ahold Delhaize AD.AS said on Wednesday it was planning to carry out 1 billion euro ($1.2 billion) share buyback, starting at the beginning of 2026.
The company, which operates the Food Lion chain in the United States, also beat market consensus on its third-quarter underlying operating income, supported by strong performance of the U.S. business.
