Since then, the "smart" CEO has spent billions to renovate stores and build out a worthy omnichannel business, and added delivery options at most stores, the CNBC host said. Sankaran delivered results last year, including more than 3% sales growth in 2019 and a "big improvement" in same-store sales growth, at 2%, Cramer said. Why It's Important: Albertsons attempted to return to the public market in 2015 and 2018. The first time around, its debt stood at a "colossal" $12 billion, and the latter plans were called off due to poor market conditions, Cramer said. Since 2015, the company's debt has improved to a "much more reasonable" level at $8.7 billion given a $2.8-billion EBITDA last year, he said. "The Albertsons of today is a much better company than it was in 2018 or 2015." What's Next: Albertsons could see continued strong momentum, as some southern states are seeing growing coronavirus infections, Cramer said.
