Ian Pollard – Sanderson Group – No Major Loss Of Confidence “Yet”
Sanderson Group SND claims strong trading momentum and further profitable growth in the year to the 30th September so despite only tiny rises in revenue and operating profit, it is increasing its final dividend by 11% as part of its progressive dividend policy. It is however carefully monitoring market conditions and then comes out with the rather strange statement that it has not “yet” detected any major loss of confidence from existing or prospective customers. So a major loss of confidence appears to be expected, the only question being the time of its arrival.

Sainsbury J. SBRY When a major supermarket group has to describe a 0.8% fall in like for like retail sales excluding fuel, as a solid start to the year, then you know that the industry’s problems are massive and that this particular company and its management are troubled.

ASDA After repeated promises from ASDA boss Andy Clark that he was here to stay, ASDA has announced that he is in fact stepping down. ASDA owner Walmart has got fed up of ASDA’s poor performance impacting its profits and leading it into a situation where annualised losses exceed £1 billion. The price war to come is expected to create havoc amongst the UKs major supermarket groups, with Sainsbury likely to be one of the two main victims.
