What the Analysts think about J Sainsbury
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for J Sainsbury stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Sainsbury’s has posted 30 periods in a row of customer growth and now holds just over 15% market share, underlining strong ongoing competitiveness.
First-quarter group sales rose 4.9% and comparable sales excluding fuel were up 4.7%, beating consensus forecasts and highlighting strong sales momentum.
The company will return capital to shareholders via a share buyback of at least £200 million and a special dividend of £250 million, with the latter funded by proceeds from a bank sale, signalling commitment to shareholder returns.
Sainsbury’s expects underlying operating profit for fiscal 2025/26 to remain flat at around £1 billion, indicating limited earnings growth as competition and cost pressures persist.
The ongoing price war, including moves like Aldi Price Match in convenience stores, has squeezed margins and led to £1 billion invested in price cuts over four years, posing a risk to further profits.
Net debt increased by £204 million to £5.758 billion as of March 1, 2025, pushing leverage to 2.6x EBITDA and restricting the group’s ability to invest strategically.
