Overweight

$38.00

15.19%

At first glance, the FY24 Woolworths Group results were broadly as expected, driven by Australian food, including margin expansion and cost controls.

Morgan Stanley gleans further excerpts on the Woolworths Group conference call.

Australian food sales improved in 4Q post resolution of problems in 3Q, including shelf space availability, media attention, Australia day etc.

The incoming CEO is going to concentrate on "getting the basics right", including improved service, higher basket size and growing adjacencies.

Competition remains tough from Coles Group ((COL)) and Aldi with the consumer continuing to trade down.

Management will focus on costs. In FY25 capex guidance is increasing to improve renewal spend with the supply chain transition at a peak and management moving to opex from capex.

Overweight rating. Target revised to $38 from $37. Industry View: In-line.

FORECAST
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY25 EPS of 146.00 cents.
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 166.00 cents.

Overweight

$38.60

17.01%

Jarden observes the ACCC Interim grocery report with a final report expected on Feb 28, 2025, and does not anticipate any major negative regulatory changes to result.

The analyst does envisage three likely recommendations including a "mandatory price establishment period" before prices can be promoted; rules around land-banking, and improved transparency on suppler engagement.

Jarden remains positive in the grocery sector with a preference for Woolworths Group over Metcash ((MTS) and Coles Group ((COL)).

No change to Overweight rating and $38.60 target price.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 114.00 cents and EPS of 151.10 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 127.00 cents and EPS of 168.20 cents.
