Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Cash GenerationConsistent and improving cash generation (operating cash flow ~6.8B, FCF ~5.4B in 2025) supports investment, dividends and debt servicing capacity. Strong FCF coverage of earnings (~56–80%) indicates high quality of profits and durable internal funding for strategic moves.
Scale & Steady Revenue GrowthMulti-year revenue expansion to ~89.2B reflects broad market penetration and retail scale. Scale supports sourcing leverage, private-label economics and logistics efficiency, creating structural cost advantages and resilience in a low-margin grocery industry over the medium term.
Diversified Retail & Wholesale ModelA multi-channel model combining retail banners, wholesale distribution and logistics creates diversified revenue streams and higher utilisation of supply chain assets. Ownership of logistics and private-label capabilities strengthens margins and competitive positioning versus pure-play retailers.
Bears Say
Rising LeverageMaterial increase in leverage (debt/equity ~3.45x) elevates financial risk and reduces balance-sheet flexibility. Higher fixed obligations limit ability to absorb shocks, constrain strategic optionality and make the company more sensitive to margin volatility or cost inflation over the medium term.
Margin PressureErosion of EBIT and net margins despite revenue scale indicates margin compression from competitive pricing or cost pressures. Persistent margin weakness in a structurally low-margin grocery sector can materially reduce free cash flow potential and weaken returns on incremental investment.
Debt Coverage StrainWhile cash generation is solid, operating cash flow covers under half of total debt, leaving limited headroom if sales or margins deteriorate. This coverage gap raises refinancing and liquidity risk and makes the firm more dependent on maintaining stable operations to meet obligations.
