Woolworths Group sales were AUD 19.4 billion in the September quarter of 2026, up 5% year-on-year. The core Australian supermarkets business drove the growth, while sales growth at its New Zealand supermarkets and the BIG W department store chain underperformed.
Woolworths' dominant position in the supermarket sector is entrenched and, coupled with first-class management, suggests it can maintain leadership in the sector.
Strong online sales growth reduces store productivity and could weigh on operating margins at some retailers, including Woolworths.
