Initiation of coverage with Hold

$31.75

4.37%

Bell Potter initiates coverage of Woolworths Group with a Hold rating and a $31.75 target price.

The broker forecasts compound growth of 4.1% in revenue and compound net profit growth of 5.2% p.a. from FY25 to FY27.

Bell Potter's forecasts are based on expected returns of around $1.5bn on capital investments in automated distribution centres and customer fulfillment centres, growth in revenue from digital marketing, and a recovery in consumer spending, although cost-of-doing-business and margin pressures are expected in FY25.

The broker's Hold rating is based on near-term headwinds from the company's greater exposure to discretionary items.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 95.00 cents and EPS of 128.70 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 103.00 cents and EPS of 138.60 cents.

Overweight

$36.70

20.64%

The strikes at four distribution centres have ended, but Jarden questions for how long will the ramifications be felt within the Woolworths Group?

Restocking will likely continue for longer and the broker thus sees negative impact carrying into H2 of FY25. A "conservative" -$100m has been taken off the prior FY25 EBIT estimate.

Taking a medium term view, the broker retains its Overweight rating while nominating Coles Group ((COL)) as the likely beneficiary, suggesting the key competitor might well positively surprise in the quarters to come.

Target price declines to $36.70 from $37.40.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 EPS of 125.90 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 155.10 cents.
