Upgrade to Buy from Hold

$36.00

22.49%

Ord Minnett notes Woolworths Group's 1H25 earnings fell short of market expectations due to a greater-than-anticipated impact from industrial action at its distribution centres.

Group gross margin narrowed, affected by price reinvestment, increased promotions, and high clearance sales in Big W.

Guidance was weak, with management forecasting a second-half earnings decline in the core food business despite solid early sales growth. However, the company announced a -$400m cost-cutting plan, which the broker views positively.

The analyst lifts EPS forecasts by 4% for FY26 and FY27 due to expected cost savings, though FY25 estimates are lowered by -1%.

The broker upgrades to Buy from Hold, lifting the price target to $36.00 from $32.00.

Overweight

$37.00

25.89%

Jarden reckons there are few immediate implications for the supermarkets from the ACCC's final supermarkets inquiry report.

Among the potential implications, the broker thinks Aldi will have to put prices online which could drive prices lower. The broker believes supermarkets would likely be forced to shift to everyday low pricing and online penetration, and more transparency in fresh food transparency could drive costs.

The broker believes Woolworths Group suffered the most brand damage from the public review and is now best positioned to benefit, followed by Coles Group ((COL)).

Target price of $37 and Overweight rating unchanged.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 91.00 cents and EPS of 116.60 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 121.00 cents and EPS of 155.80 cents.
