Research on this stock
27/100 Hold J Sainsbury plc: The Value of the Post-Argos Food Retailer J Sainsbury is the UK's number-two grocer, and the agreed sale of Argos to Swift Partners leaves a food retailer with Nectar loyalty and Nectar360 retail-media economics attached. The simplification removes £4.125bn of FY2025/26 Argos sales that carried only £9m of underlying operating profit, while the retained business earned £1.025bn of Retail underlying operating profit on £33.551bn of Retail sales, a 3.06% margin at which 10 basis points are worth roughly £33.6m. Rating Hold: grocery spend share reached 15.2% with food volume share at a ten-year high and Retail free cash flow was £574m, but at £3.415 the shares sit only about 9% below the £3.72 base intrinsic value and above the roughly £3.01 conservative case, so the ideal buy range is £2.30-£2.40.
