Tesco’s interim results for fiscal 2027 showed 1.6% sales growth at constant rates, with UK & ROI up 2.4%, Central Europe up 1.1%, and Booker down 2.5%. Adjusted operating profit increased 6.3%, ahead of consensus. Shares rose about 4% on Oct. 8.
Tesco is the largest grocer in the UK, with over 4,000 stores, meaning it should be able to spread advertising and distribution costs over a larger revenue base.
Tesco's main UK and Ireland markets are highly competitive, with hard discounters taking market share.
