AB Foods' Primark Margin, Cash Returns in Focus -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-04

1527 GMT - In addition to details on the fiscal 2025 outlook, investors will look for comments about Primark's margin in Associated British Foods' fiscal 2024 report on Tuesday, UBS analyst Sreedhar Mahamkali says. Comments regarding the first-quarter performance of Primark--which accounts for most of the company's earnings--will be key to assess how the start of the new fiscal year is progressing. Another area to watch will be cash returns. The company announced a 500 million pound share buyback last year, a special dividend of 12.7 pence a share and a final dividend payout of 33.1 pence, the analyst writes. Market consensus forecasts a total dividend of 71.6 pence a share and a share buyback of 340 million pounds in fiscal 2025, the analyst adds. Shares are up 0.7%. (michael.susin@wsj.com)
