Sainsbury's Stock Under Pressure Due to Weak Consumer Confidence -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-16 19:50

1149 GMT - Sainsbury's stock price has eased from recent highs due to weaker U.K. consumer confidence and new cost challenges from the Middle East conflict, Shore Capital's Clive Black writes in a note. The company is competing well in the U.K. grocery segment, but weak market conditions are hindering non-food revenue progress, Black says. "Hence, we see a well operated, asset rich, and free cash generating firm where capital allocation is distinctly shareholder focused through an attractive dividend yield and ongoing [buyback]," he adds. And, there is more unhelpful action by the government toward U.K. grocers, amid the suggestion of price controls, he adds. Shares are down 1.2% at 308 pence. (aimee.look@wsj.com)
