UBS suggests the revenue outlook for Australian supermarkets remains robust, though headwinds persist from sustained non-food competition and declining tobacco sales, which now represent less than 5% of the total.

The broker was commenting after reviewing the UBS Supermarket Supplier Survey (conducted June 3-26) featured fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) players who provided current trading and outlook insights.

April-May trading favoured Coles Group over Woolworths Group, highlights the analyst. Buy-rated Coles remains preferred over Woolworths (Neutral) given stronger execution and multiple cost-saving levers, though execution at Woolworths is expected to improve.

UBS retains a $23.50 target price for Coles Group.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 72.00 cents and EPS of 84.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 83.00 cents and EPS of 97.00 cents.

Neutral

$20.60

-2.00%

Jarden saw few surprises in Coles Group' 3Q25 result, with supermarket sales up 4.7% y/y, Ocado performing well, though liquor was a bit of a drag.

The broker remains skeptical of the benefits of liquor business rebranding, and the -0.2% cut to FY25-26 EBITDA forecast is largely a result of softer liquor results and costs related to brand consolidation.

The broker prefers Woolworths Group ((WOW)) over Coles, but sees scope for both supermarkets to outperform.

Neutral. Target rises to $20.60 from $19.50 on medium-term EBITDA upgrades and terminal margins.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 66.00 cents and EPS of 81.90 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 76.00 cents and EPS of 93.40 cents.
