Woolworths Group Ltd ( (AU:WOW) ) just unveiled an update.

Woolworths Group reported third-quarter group sales of $18.1 billion, up 4.5% year on year, driven chiefly by a 5.9% rise in Australian Food sales and strong eCommerce growth of 20.2%. The company also saw solid contributions from Australian B2B, modest growth in New Zealand Food in local currency, and improving performance in its W Living division, including BIG W and Petstock.

Management highlighted that strategic investment in value, fresh, convenience and execution has boosted sales momentum and customer scores, particularly in metrics such as value for money and product availability. However, they cautioned that rising fuel costs and broader inflationary pressures linked to geopolitical tensions and a slower New Zealand market are increasing uncertainty, prompting a stronger focus on productivity and cost discipline to protect margins and support customers, suppliers and shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WOW) stock is a Hold with a A$34.80 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Woolworths Group Ltd stock, see the AU:WOW Stock Forecast page.
