Associated British Foods (AB Foods) will separate its Primark retail arm from its food business into two independently listed companies, both expected to join the FTSE 100 index. The demerger, planned for completion by the end of 2027, aims to unlock greater value and growth opportunities for shareholders. Primark operates 486 stores with £9.5 billion revenue, while the food division covers 521 countries with £9.8 billion sales. Separation costs are estimated at £75 million, with ongoing costs below £45 million. The move is supported by the founding Weston family, which will maintain majority ownership in both firms.
