Associated British Foods reported group revenue of £6.76bn for the 16 weeks to 3 January 2026, broadly in line with earlier estimates and down slightly by 0.9% at constant currency, highlighting mixed performance across its portfolio. Retail revenue, driven by Primark, rose 1.5% at constant currency, with modest like-for-like and total sales growth in the UK and Ireland, stronger momentum in the US with 12% like-for-like growth, but declining like-for-like and total sales in continental Europe; the grocery division was broadly flat with slight growth, while ingredients, sugar and agriculture all reported revenue declines. The update suggests resilience in Primark’s core UK and US markets but ongoing challenges in Europe and commodity-linked businesses, setting the stage for more detailed scrutiny of profitability and regional strategy when interim results are released in April.

Associated British Foods reported a weaker-than-expected start to its 2026 financial year, with Primark and several food businesses facing challenging consumer conditions that will leave group adjusted operating profit and earnings per share below last year. Primark delivered modest like-for-like growth and market share gains in a tough UK clothing market, supported by investments in product, pricing and digital engagement, but like-for-like sales fell sharply in continental Europe, markdowns rose to clear inventory, and overall Primark sales growth lagged prior expectations, prompting management to flag a full-year operating margin of around 10% if current trends persist. In the US, volatile trading weighed on Primark footfall and on ABF’s cooking oils and bakery ingredients operations, leading the company to guide that its Grocery and Ingredients divisions will post moderately lower adjusted operating profit this year, while Sugar and Agriculture remain in line with earlier guidance, leaving group revenue broadly flat and underscoring a more cautious outlook despite management’s confidence in the group’s longer-term prospects and ongoing growth initiatives.
