Woolworths downbeat on consumer outlook
Woolworths Ltd lowered its full-year sales outlook last friday in the face of food deflation and weakening consumer sentiment, despite posting a 4.7% increase in third-quarter sales.For the three months to 4 April, Woolworths said total sales increased to A$12.91bn, up from $12.33bn last year. Excluding fuel, sales gained 3.8%, the company added.
The group reiterated its full-year guidance for profit growth in a range of 8-11%.
However, Woolworths said that food deflation and the cycling of last year’s government economic stimulus package would dent sales growth. Woolworths lowered its revenue target from upper single digit growth to a 3-6% range.
