Associated British Foods ( (GB:ABF) ) just unveiled an update.
Associated British Foods reported its interim results for the 24 weeks ending March 1, 2025, showing a mixed performance across its divisions. While the company saw growth in its Retail and Ingredients sectors, with Primark performing well in Europe and the US, its Sugar division faced challenges due to low European sugar prices and losses in its UK bioethanol business, Vivergo. The company remains optimistic about its long-term growth prospects, supported by a strong balance sheet and continued investment in capacity and technology.
