Company Report

Solid Multichannel Exposure and Focused Execution Make Tesco the Best Positioned Grocer

Tesco, the largest grocery retailer in the United Kingdom in terms of sales and store network, has successfully completed an ambitious turnaround. It has had one of the worst times in its history over the past decade, including an accounting controversy in 2014 and a subsequent decline in profits and growth owing to the advent of discounters in the U.K. food retail business.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

As the largest grocer in the U.K. in the online and offline channels with almost 100% coverage and a network of more than 3,500 stores, Tesco should be able to use its scale to drive results in ways subscale peers cannot.

Bears

Tesco's main U.K. and Ireland markets are highly competitive, with hard discounters expanding market share.
