Downgrade to Neutral from Buy

$34.00

12.81%

Citi's analyst admits the pressure on Woolworths Group's Australian food business was "underappreciated" in term of margin pressures to reach sales targets which has continued from August.

The broker believes there is more work to improve the image around brand and price perceptions. The view is that further earnings downgrades remain possible.

Citi lowers EBIT forecasts by -8% for FY25/FY26. Target price cut to $34 from $38.56. The stock is downgraded to Neutral from Buy.

$36.20

Goldman Sachs downgrades Woolworths Group forecasts due to lower margin guidance and challenges in its core Australian Food segment.

The company announced 1Q25 sales which were in line with expectations at growth of 3.8% in Australia, but EBIT guidance for 1H25 indicates erosion in margins of circa -60bps, the broker highlights.

Management plans to tighten promotional spending, reduce support costs, and enhance productivity to counteract these pressures.

Target price declines to $36.20 from $38.90 with Goldman Sachs pointing to risks around the ACCC inquiry and ongoing cost inflation, while growth in online and Retail Media may support longer-term profitability.

The broker's earnings forecasts are cut by -8% and -5%, for FY25/FY26, respectively.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 96.00 cents and EPS of 128.00 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 110.00 cents and EPS of 147.00 cents.
