Woolworths (WOW) - 1H25 result analysis

Shaping up

Published: 07 March 2025

Woolworths reported sales up 4%, but EBIT down 14% in 1H25. We expect the company will have a challenging 2H25e as well. Management is starting to address its challenges. CEO, Amanda Bardwell, said that the company will assess the shape of its business portfolio. Each business unit must have reasonable prospects on a 3-5 year view. Overhead costs are being cut and there is a tougher stance on the low returning Big W and NZ divisions.
