Tesco aiming for bumper 2026 after best Christmas market share in decade

I'm not surprised Tesco had a solid Christmas, those guys are always good at making deals ๐Ÿ™‚. Their Finest range is fire, and it's no wonder they saw sales spike. But honestly, I'm kinda worried about their share price taking a hit after that update. 6% drop is crazy ๐Ÿ’ธ. I mean, I get it, 3.2% growth isn't exactly what analysts were hoping for, but come on, the guy's still optimistic ๐Ÿค—.

It's all good though, Tesco's got this. They're like the dependable mate who always shows up with a pint of beer when everyone else is struggling ๐Ÿ’ช. Their scale and relationships with suppliers are solid gold, and they know how to keep prices low โš–๏ธ. I'm actually kinda rooting for them to take market share from those struggling retailers like Asda ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

The price war between Tesco and Asda is gonna get intense ๐Ÿ”ฅ, but I think Tesco's got this one in the bag. They've got their "everyday low prices" campaign locked down tight ๐Ÿ’ผ, and if they can keep costs under control, they'll be raking it in by 2026 ๐Ÿค‘.
 
so tesco's christmas sales were strong but they're still having issues with investors... guess they can't win 'em all ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ’ฐ i think it's cool that they're trying to keep prices low though, makes sense for consumers to be able to splurge a bit more on festive treats without breaking the bank ๐Ÿ‘

also, idk about asda thinking they can just drop prices and steal tesco's customers... sounds like a recipe for disaster ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ maybe they should focus on improving their own game instead of trying to one-up tesco? ๐Ÿค”

anyway, i'm glad tesco is confident about their 2026 outlook... ยฃ3.1bn in profits is no joke ๐Ÿ’ธ and it's good to hear that employment rates are still decent ๐Ÿ‘Œ just gotta hope they can keep the momentum going without getting caught up in the price war madness ๐Ÿคฏ
 
omg u guys tesco's christmas sales were insane but like literally dropped 6% on thursday lol what's going on? i mean they're trying to keep prices low but it's not translating into more growth for them. and honestly i'm a bit worried about the future, with inflation still high and all. but ken murphy seems pretty chill about it tho ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ and he's got some valid points about consumers still wanting to splurge on festive treats despite being tight on cash. asda's gonna try to take them down, though ๐Ÿค‘ i'm curious to see how the price war goes down in january. anyway tesco's still looking decent for 2026, around ยฃ3.1bn in profits or so... that's not bad considering everything.
 
I'm thinking, you know? Tesco's got this huge scale going on, and it's helping them weather all these economic storms ๐ŸŒช๏ธ. But, like, what does that even mean for us as consumers? Are we just being kept afloat by these big companies because they're so powerful? I mean, the price war is just gonna get fiercer in January... who's really winning here?

And then there's this business rates thing. Murphy wants it changed, but who exactly benefits from that change? Is it even possible to reform something as complex as that without, like, screwing over some small businesses or whatever? It feels like we're just stuck in this never-ending cycle of corporations trying to outdo each other, while the average person is just along for the ride ๐Ÿคฏ.

It's all pretty wild.
 
I'm kinda surprised that Tesco's Christmas sales were so strong ๐Ÿค‘... I mean, who doesn't love a good deal on turkey and mince pies?! But seriously, it's cool to see them taking market share from struggling retailers like Asda ๐Ÿ“ˆ. The price war is gonna be intense in January, though - can't wait to see how that plays out ๐Ÿ˜‚. I do wish they'd focus more on sustainability, though... all those cheap products are probably not the best for our planet ๐ŸŒŽ. Still, it's good to hear that they're confident of hitting their profit targets, so fingers crossed!
 
I'm thinking Tesco's got this ๐Ÿค”. I mean, they're doing alright, right? They've had a good Christmas and all that. But 6% drop in shares? That's like, woah ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. I guess you can't always rely on just one good quarter to get the ball rolling. And what's with Asda trying to undercut them? That's gonna be a price war for the ages ๐Ÿ’ธ. But seriously, it's all good. Tesco's still got that massive scale thing going for 'em. They're like the Walmart of the UK ๐Ÿš€. And hey, they've got their everyday low prices campaign, which is like, genius marketing or whatever ๐Ÿ”ฅ. I think 2026 is looking alright too... we'll see what happens, right?
