Tesco vs Sainsbury: Which supermarket shares can compete better for investors?

Tesco vs Sainsbury: Which supermarket shares can compete better for investors?

This week we look at two UK supermarket giants, which reported their latest numbers recently, and match them up using some of the AI-driven metrics from our Data service. Both companies are competing in a tough economic environment, tariffs aside, and analysts have been very focused on solutions to razor-thin margins in the British groceries space.

Thie big question for supermarket investors is going to be which of the pair look like a safer bet in an environment where consumers are becoming increasingly price conscious.

Away from the US tariff backdrop, Tesco [LON:TSCO] has a price war of its own to fight. The ‘Aldi price match’ promo has been a hit and CEO Ken Murphy will surely be readying a round of ‘Asda price match’ now too. Lidl and Aldi have chipped away at Morrisons [LON:MRW] and Asda in particular - with Asda ready to flirt with some pyrrhic pain in the short term, it’s unlikely to overtake Tesco’s 28% market share but denting it could well be on the cards.
