Sainsbury: at half-mast after its trading update
In the holiday period alone (i.e. the last six weeks of the quarter), however, sales rose by just 4.9%, with growth of 8.6% in the grocery category, but declines of 3.7% in general merchandise and 6% in clothing.
Nevertheless, Sainsbury continues to expect underlying pre-tax profit of between £670 and £700 million for the full 2023-24 financial year, as well as free cash flow from retail sales of at least £600 million.
