Hurrah!

In line with our policy of paying a dividend that is covered 2.0 times by underlying earnings, we propose to pay a final dividend of 7.9 pence per share, bringing our full year dividend to 11.0 pence per share, an increase of 7.8 per cent

Finally it increases a touch

This from TMF, by Kevin Godbold;

Is J Sainsbury now a screaming buy or a basket case?

Last week’s news that the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has blocked the proposed merger between J Sainsbury (LSE: SBRY) and Walmart’s Asda sent Sainsbury’s share price plunging. So is the stock now a bargain that I should snap up?

The CMA thinks consumers would have been worse off because of rising prices if it had allowed the deal. But Sainsbury’s chief executive, Mike Coupe, is on record as saying that “the specific reason for wanting to merge was to lower prices for customers.” He went on to explain that he thinks the CMA’s decision ignores the “dynamic and highly competitive nature” of the grocery market in the UK. Nevertheless, the two firms have no intention of appealing the decision. It’s over. The idea didn’t work.

Hi All, Well I don’t see much “improving” going on in those numbers ?. Like for like sales growth down, Total Sales Growth figures all down. Asda merger blocked, share price down from 28x in February to 19x today. Dividend still decent but cover looking increasingly shaky.

Looks like another challenged retail investment to me, why invest here ?. I like the supermarkets but don’t feel the need to own them, I suppose somebody has to....

Maybe, but they're doing well today, being up nearly 2%, in a weak overall market. I'm still not tempted to buy back into SBRY though. I don't hold any retail shares now, and of those on offer, I do think SBRY are the best still.

For my sins I own SBRY, TSCO, and MKS. Including dividends they are showing a return of -17%, -20% and -2.4% so not great performers though not the worst in my HYP, (take a bow RBS). Though the 9 companies showing red are counterbalanced by 11 showing more than 100% gain so I'm not doing too bad.


Interesting that both Sainsbury and Tesco seem to be pulling out of the mortgage side of banking as Tesco have sold their mortgage book to Lloyds (AFAIR) and Sainsbury have said they will not be issuing new mortgages in this update. It will be interesting to compare SBRY with TSCO come results time, though both are suffering against the german discounters.

What was their logic for going into financial services? Perhaps the opinion that their name and reputation was better than banks. Will we also see them pull back from savings accounts and credit cards? I don't think Sainsbury's any more, but Tesco also dabble in mobile phone networks.

Sainsbury first went into banking more than 20 years ago I think. They did a joint venture with the then independent Bank of Scotland and I imagine it was to cash in so to speak on their standing in the market as a good dependable player. Tesco presumably went into banking for the same reason. That was of course at a time when supermarkets were very much the place to be. How times have changed.

I use Tesco for mobile phones and they do all that I want. They more than dabble I think, although whether they make any money from them I do not know nor care since I do not own any supermarkets.

I do not own any supermarket shares. The only winner is the consumer in this never ending knife fight in a telephone box that the supermarket Companies are involved in.

Very well put flyer61. I used to hold SBRY, but no more. In fact I don't hold any retail shares. With regards to SBRY, even we use Lidl up here in Orkney.
