Shares of Tesco PLC dropped 2.6% following Shore Capital's downgrade from buy to hold, the first in over three years. The broker cited that Tesco's shares have reached fair value at about 15 times forecast earnings, limiting further upside despite the company's strong operational performance and market share gains. Challenges include a tighter trading environment, competition from own-label products, and external factors like hot weather and shifting consumer habits. Shore Capital also noted that an earnings upgrade at the half-year results now seems unlikely, with a potential reappraisal expected in the new year.
