Coles Group (scheduled 30 October 2026) and Woolworths (scheduled 28 October 2026) are due to release their 1Q27 sales results. We forecast 6.0% comp sales growth for Woolworths Food and 3.3% for Coles Supermarkets. The weighted average result is above trend and helped by improved execution at Woolworths and weaker sales for Aldi and independents. Superior sales momentum for Woolworths may last another quarter and then fade. Outside of supermarkets, it remains challenging, Coles Liquor is likely in decline and Big W will have near flat sales.
