NASDAQ:TENB 24 February 2026

May 2, 2026, 10:20 AM EDT. Publix Super Markets raised its stock price by 80 cents to $20.45 per share on May 1, granting shareholders roughly a 4% gain, despite a 21.5% drop in first-quarter earnings. The Lakeland-based grocer reported Q1 net earnings fell to $794 million from $1 billion a year earlier, primarily due to the federal Medicare maximum fair price program cutting prescription drug prices at its pharmacies. Sales rose 2% to $16.1 billion, with comparable store sales flat. Adjusted net earnings, excluding unrealized equity losses, declined 3% to $1.1 billion. Publix stock remains privately held, accessible only to employees and board members, many of whom hold significant shares. CEO highlighted the role of associates as the company's foundation amid slower growth and pricing pressures.
