Woolworths Shareholders Are Getting Their Woolies Worth With Interim Dividends Up 18%
Johannes Faul Director
Analyst Note
Narrow-moat Woolworths’ first-half fiscal 2023 sales growth of 4% and 16% increase in underlying EPS were ahead of our expectations. We increase our fair value estimate by 2% to AUD 27 per share, due to a now slightly greater sales base for the core Australian food segment, which accounts for over 80% of group earnings. We increase our fiscal 2023 adjusted EPS estimate by 4% to AUD 1.41.
