-- 杰富瑞周四发布的一份报告指出,伍尔沃斯集团(ASX:WOW)公布的第三财季销售增长“稳健”,但同时下调了盈利预期,并指出价格压力不断上升,这意味着利润率将受到挤压,盈利前景也更加谨慎。 该公司公布,第三财季澳大利亚食品同店销售额增长5.3%,略高于杰富瑞此前4.9%的预期。这主要得益于生鲜食品和自有品牌产品的强劲表现,总销售额增长5.9%,不计烟草的食品零售额增长7.3%,尽管烟草收入下降了42%。 尽管销售强劲,但由于燃油成本压力和定价投资,该公司下调了2026财年澳大利亚食品息税前利润增长预期。在新西兰,该公司预计下半年盈利将有所下降,但仍预计全年业绩将超过去年。 这家股票研究公司表示,燃油成本上涨的影响有限,并指出,盈利预期大幅下调可能反映了潜在的定价投资,尽管目前的竞争环境并不支持大幅度折扣。 该研究公司强调,线上销售额同比增长约24%,新增销售额达4.35亿澳元,渗透率也创下近17%的历史新高。 该研究公司指出,受节后市场正常化、市场波动和消费者情绪疲软的影响,Woolworths集团的净推荐值(NPS)在连续五个季度增长后,从52降至47。 杰富瑞维持对Woolworths集团的“持有”评级,并将目标股价从33.50澳元下调至32澳元。
