Citi has placed Sainsbury on a 30-day negative catalyst watch ahead of its half-year results, citing Tesco's rapid expansion into on-demand grocery delivery as a growing competitive threat. Tesco's new delivery service, launched via third-party platforms, is expected to boost its UK like-for-like sales by up to 0.5 percentage points and add significantly to its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) growth in 2027 and 2028. Conversely, Sainsbury could lose market share in on-demand grocery delivery, potentially reducing its UK grocery revenue by 0.3% and slightly lowering its group EBIT growth in the same period. The watch period precedes Sainsbury's half-year results on October 22 and upcoming market share data on November 10.
