18.04.25 17:30:28 Tesco (LSE:TSCO) Completes Share Buyback Program
Tesco recently reported strong annual financial results, with revenue and net income both showing impressive growth. Despite a decrease in earnings per share from continuing operations, the overall earnings per share increased, and the company completed a significant share buyback program. These positive developments may have helped drive Tesco's share price up by 13% over the past week. In contrast, the broader market remained flat over the same period. The earnings call and completion of the buyback likely reinforced investor confidence, contributing positively to Tesco's recent price movement.

AI is about to change healthcare. These 26 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10b in market cap - there's still time to get in early.

Tesco's recent achievements, including strong financial results and a significant share buyback, have potential implications for the company's future performance. These developments may further enhance Tesco's digital investment strategies and personalized pricing approaches. The focus on quality and innovation is aimed at boosting customer loyalty and market share, which could positively affect future revenue and earnings forecasts. Analysts currently predict revenue growth of 2.6% annually over the next three years and expect earnings to reach £1.9 billion by April 2028. These projections align with the enhanced investor confidence reflected in the 13% share price increase over the past week.

Over the last five years, Tesco delivered an impressive total return of 86.23%, including share price gains and dividends. Comparing to its one-year performance, Tesco has outperformed both the UK market, which returned 2.3%, and its UK Consumer Retailing peers, reflecting its resilience in a competitive sector. Despite the recent positive news, Tesco's current share price of £3.46 remains below the analysts' consensus price target of £3.80, suggesting there is potential for further upside.

17.04.25 05:05:01 Investors Can Find Comfort In Tesco's (LON:TSCO) Earnings Quality
Shareholders appeared unconcerned with Tesco PLC's (LON:TSCO) lackluster earnings report last week. We did some digging, and we believe the earnings are stronger than they seem.

Our free stock report includes 1 warning sign investors should be aware of before investing in Tesco. Read for free now.LSE:TSCO Earnings and Revenue History April 17th 2025

The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

Importantly, our data indicates that Tesco's profit was reduced by UK£329m, due to unusual items, over the last year. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. If Tesco doesn't see those unusual expenses repeat, then all else being equal we'd expect its profit to increase over the coming year.

That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates.

Our Take On Tesco's Profit Performance

Because unusual items detracted from Tesco's earnings over the last year, you could argue that we can expect an improved result in the current quarter. Because of this, we think Tesco's earnings potential is at least as good as it seems, and maybe even better! And the EPS is up 19% annually, over the last three years. Of course, we've only just scratched the surface when it comes to analysing its earnings; one could also consider margins, forecast growth, and return on investment, among other factors. With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. Case in point: We've spotted 1 warning sign for Tesco you should be aware of.

This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of Tesco's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company. For example, many people consider a high return on equity as an indication of favorable business economics, while others like to 'follow the money' and search out stocks that insiders are buying. So you may wish to see this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with high insider ownership.

Tesco EPS Misses Expectations

13.04.25 07:09:24 Tesco (LON:TSCO) Is Increasing Its Dividend To £0.0945
Tesco PLC (LON:TSCO) will increase its dividend from last year's comparable payment on the 27th of June to £0.0945. This takes the annual payment to 4.2% of the current stock price, which is about average for the industry.

We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

Tesco's Projected Earnings Seem Likely To Cover Future Distributions

We like a dividend to be consistent over the long term, so checking whether it is sustainable is important. Prior to this announcement, Tesco's dividend was comfortably covered by both cash flow and earnings. This indicates that quite a large proportion of earnings is being invested back into the business.

The next year is set to see EPS grow by 31.0%. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio could be 48% by next year, which is in a pretty sustainable range.LSE:TSCO Historic Dividend April 13th 2025

Check out our latest analysis for Tesco

Dividend Volatility

The company has a long dividend track record, but it doesn't look great with cuts in the past. The annual payment during the last 10 years was £0.187 in 2015, and the most recent fiscal year payment was £0.137. Doing the maths, this is a decline of about 3.1% per year. Generally, we don't like to see a dividend that has been declining over time as this can degrade shareholders' returns and indicate that the company may be running into problems.

The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow

Growing earnings per share could be a mitigating factor when considering the past fluctuations in the dividend. Tesco has seen EPS rising for the last five years, at 20% per annum. The company doesn't have any problems growing, despite returning a lot of capital to shareholders, which is a very nice combination for a dividend stock to have.

We Really Like Tesco's Dividend

In summary, it is always positive to see the dividend being increased, and we are particularly pleased with its overall sustainability. The company is easily earning enough to cover its dividend payments and it is great to see that these earnings are being translated into cash flow. All of these factors considered, we think this has solid potential as a dividend stock.

Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. At the same time, there are other factors our readers should be conscious of before pouring capital into a stock. Taking the debate a bit further, we've identified 1 warning sign for Tesco that investors need to be conscious of moving forward. Looking for more high-yielding dividend ideas?

The company aims to provide reliable pricing on essential items while offering exciting promotions on brands. Tesco's sophisticated pricing systems help focus on prices that matter most to customers.

Story Continues

Q: Is there an irrational price war in the UK market currently? A: Ken Murphy stated that while there is an intensification in competitive positioning, it is not an irrational price war.

The company is determined to protect its market share and continue winning with customers.

A: Ken Murphy noted that predicting the peak of industry price pressures is challenging due to various factors like new tax legislation, national living wage increases, and competitive dynamics. While summer might be an estimate for price pressures to peak, Tesco remains focused on maintaining competitiveness and value for customers.

Q: How does Tesco view its online business and the role of Marketplace in its growth strategy? A: Imran Nawaz, CFO, expressed confidence in Tesco's online business, highlighting its growth and market share gains. The online model benefits from operating leverage due to store fulfillment.

10.04.25 13:53:26 Supermarket price war heats up in relief for squeezed consumers
The escalating price war among UK supermarkets will come as some relief for consumers, who are seeing food inflation creep up again and household bills spiral.

Tesco has signalled that a price war is mounting within the sector, with the UK’s largest grocery chain saying it expects to make as much as £400 million less in profit next year as a result of what it calls “a very competitive market”.

Chief executive Ken Murphy said the company is facing mounting pressure to slash prices, after competitor Asda recently promised the company’s biggest price cuts in 25 years.

But the ruthless competition between grocers has undoubtedly been driven by the discounters Aldi and Lidl, with ‘Aldi price match’ signs becoming a familiar site to consumers.

March’s monthly analysis of prices across the UK’s eight biggest supermarkets by Which? shows Aldi was once again the cheapest, while Asda held on to the top spot for a bigger list of groceries.

At Aldi, a shopping list of 79 grocery items cost £133.73 on average across the month, with Lidl costing only 67p more for those using the Lidl Plus loyalty scheme and 70p more without.

For a comparison of a bigger trolley of 203 items – which does not include Aldi and Lidl as they have a smaller range of branded products – Asda came out cheapest at £498, beating Tesco with a Clubcard by £5.03.

Reena Sewraz, Which? retail editor, said: “A supermarket price war could be good news for shoppers who’ve faced years of pressure on their household budgets.

“While food prices have mostly stabilised according to our latest inflation tracker, some commodities such as coffee and chocolate are causing prices to rise due to global supply issues.

“However, Aldi continues to be the cheapest supermarket in our monthly price analysis with Lidl close behind and Asda the most affordable for a bigger list of groceries including a wider selection of branded items.”

Commenting on Tesco’s half year results, Julie Palmer, partner at Begbies Traynor, said: “The market will be keeping a close eye on whether Tesco can maintain its pole position in the UK.

“To do so, it must both reassure investors that its strategy is sound and convince customers that it remains the retailer of choice in difficult times, all while battling fierce competition from the discounters, higher wage bills and the possibility of increasing UK inflation.”

Dan Lane, lead analyst at Robinhood UK, said: “Away from the US tariff backdrop, Tesco has a price war of its own to fight. The ‘Aldi price match’ promo has been a hit and Ken Murphy will surely be readying a round of ‘Asda price match’ now too.

Story Continues

“Lidl and Aldi have chipped away at Morrisons and Asda in particular – with Asda ready to flirt with some pyrrhic pain in the short term, it’s unlikely to overtake Tesco’s 28% market share but denting it could well be on the cards.

“Tesco’s drop in operating profit and lower outlook today won’t help just before another race to lower prices though. Pricing pressures are clearly surfacing and might just get worse over the summer before they get better.

Supermarket prices are now 3.5% higher than a year ago, up from 3.3% in February after falling from 3.7% in December, according to analysts Kantar.

The British Retail Consortium has said it expects food inflation to hit 4% by the second half of the year amid geopolitical tensions and a £7 billion increase in costs from the autumn Budget.

However, UK consumers can be assured that the competitive landscape and its price wars are significantly dampening down cost-of-living pressures here.

In New Zealand, the Government is considering a possible break-up of a supermarket ‘duopoly’, with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon acknowledging that Kiwis “pay some of the highest prices on the planet for food”.

Mr Luxon has promised to tackle regulatory barriers to bring in potential supermarket challengers to compete with the duopoly.

10.04.25 09:05:19 Supermarket price war heats up as Tesco cites ‘very competitive market’
Tesco (TSCO.L) has signalled that a price war among UK supermarkets is mounting, as its boss pointed to an “intensification” of competition across the sector and targeted as much as £500 million in fresh cost cuts.

Chief executive Ken Murphy said the company is facing mounting pressure to slash prices, after competitor Asda recently promised the company’s biggest price cuts in 25 years.

The company said in a statement: “In the last few months, we have seen a further increase in the competitive intensity of the UK market.

“We are committed to ensuring that customers get the best value in the market by shopping at Tesco and we see further opportunities to protect and strengthen our competitiveness.”

The grocery giant said it expects to see adjusted operating profit of between £2.7 billion and £3.0 billion, compared with £3.1 billion in the most recent financial year.

The guidance “gives us flexibility and firepower” to respond to mounting competition among supermarkets, Mr Murphy said.

Britain’s major grocery chains have been engaged in the early stages of a price war that has already wiped billions off their share prices.

It comes after comments by Asda chairman Allan Leighton, who in March promised sweeping price cuts in a bid to make it more competitive.

Tesco also said it is looking to cut a further £500 million from its overheads to “help offset new operating cost inflation”, partly as a result of recent tax hikes for employers brought in by the Government.

The company warned of price rises and inflation as a result of an increase in employer national insurance contributions (Nics) late last year.

The company said that about £510 million in cost cuts last year had come from bringing in more automation in warehouses and improving supply chains, among other measures, and that it would continue with the same savings plan this year.

When asked if the savings drive could mean cutting jobs, Mr Murphy said: “We never rule that out, but at the same time, we have a track record of managing it very well.”

In January, it announced 400 job cuts across both stores and head office as part of plans to “simplify” the business.

Nonetheless, Tesco also reported bumper sales for the most recent financial year, up 3.5% to £63.6 billion.

And the supermarket said it increased its market share across the UK to 28.3%, its highest point since 2016.

Mr Murphy added: “Despite inflationary headwinds, we are committed to ensuring customers get the best possible value by shopping at Tesco, and see further opportunities to strengthen our competitiveness.”

Julie Palmer, a partner at consultant Begbies Traynor, said Tesco’s cautious profit guidance is “a stark reminder” of the competition facing supermarkets.

“Clearly, no retailer is immune from the turbulence of today’s economy,” she added.

10.04.25 06:33:13 Tesco predicts lower profit as supermarket price war mounts
Tesco (TSCO.L) has forecast lower profit this year than last amid a mounting price war among the UK’s major supermarkets.

The grocery giant said it expects to see adjusted operating profit of between £2.7 billion and £3.0 billion, compared with £3.1 billion in the most recent financial year.

It said on Thursday: “In the last few months, we have seen a further increase in the competitive intensity of the UK market.

“We are committed to ensuring that customers get the best value in the market by shopping at Tesco and we see further opportunities to protect and strengthen our competitiveness.

“We are therefore providing guidance that gives us flexibility and firepower to be able to respond to current market conditions.”

Britain’s supermarkets have been engaged in the early stages of a price war that has already wiped billions off their stock market values in recent months.

It came after comments by Asda chairman Allan Leighton, who in March promised the company’s biggest price cuts for 25 years to make it more competitive.

Nonetheless, Tesco’s forecast came as it reported bumper sales for the most recent financial year, up 3.5% to £63.6 billion. Profit before tax was down 3.2% at £2.2 billion.

And the supermarket said it increased its market share across the UK to 28.3%, its highest point since 2016.

The big grocery retailers have complained of tax hikes and increases in the minimum wage in recent months, brought in by the Labour Government, which have made it more expensive to employ people.

Tesco was one of a group of companies warning of price rises and inflation as a result of the announcement late last year.

And in January, it announced 400 job cuts across both stores and head office as part of plans to “simplify” the business.

Chief executive Ken Murphy said on Thursday: “Despite inflationary headwinds, we are committed to ensuring customers get the best possible value by shopping at Tesco, and see further opportunities to strengthen our competitiveness.”

04.04.25 14:20:03 Tesco to reveal stronger sales amid price war fears
Tesco shareholders will be hoping for reassurance over continued sales growth and robust profits next week amid the prospect of an intensifying grocery price war.

Earlier this year, shares in the UK’s largest supermarket group struck their highest level for over a decade as it continued to strengthen its position in the grocery sector.

In its most recent update, Tesco cheered data showing it had reported its highest market share for almost nine years, with a 28.5% share of the sector’s sales.

The chain revealed UK and Ireland like-for-like sales, excluding fuel and VAT, up 3.7% over the six weeks to January 4 and record trading in the week before Christmas.

Aarin Chiekrie, equity analyst, Hargreaves Lansdown said: “Growth in the UK and Europe helped to offset declines in its wholesale business, Booker.

“It’s a competitive space but its improving proposition saw Tesco record its highest market share since 2016.

“Investors will be keen to see this trend continue when it reports full-year results next week.”

However, shares in the company have been hit by a sell-off across the sector in recent weeks amid concerns that a potential supermarket price war will hit profitability.

It comes after returning Asda boss Allan Leighton laid out plans from the Leeds-based firm to reclaim market share by aggressively focusing on lower prices in order to win back shoppers.

Initially, Tesco and Sainsbury’s saw billions of pounds wiped off their stock market value before recovering some ground.

Investors will therefore be keen to hear more about Tesco’s pricing and profit strategy over the coming year when it updates the market with its annual results on Thursday, April 10.

The group has focused on pricing and delivering value for customers under the leadership of current boss Ken Murphy, particularly through its Clubcard loyalty programme and Aldi price match scheme.

It has continued to boost profits despite heavy investment into its pricing strategy.

On Thursday, the company is expected to report another increase in profits, with analysts forecasting a group adjusted operating profit of £3.07 billion for the year to February.

It recorded profits of £2.83 billion for the previous year.

Industry experts have also suggested that it will reveal revenues of around £70 billion for the year, compared with £61.5 billion a year earlier, on the back of stronger volumes from shoppers.

Shareholders will also be keen to see how wider consumer sentiment is faring given a backdrop of rising household bills and an uncertain global economic environment.
