Woolworths (ASX:WOW), Australia's largest supermarket chain, has rebounded but many fund managers see it as fully valued. In August 2026, Ausbil rated Woolworths underweight, viewing it as fully priced despite a strong FY26 result in which Ooshie collectables lifted sales growth by an estimated 1.5% to 2%. Pendal noted the result beat expectations by 2%, with improving sales growth into FY27. Yarra rated it a sell after a 20% rise took it back to COVID-era levels, and Perennial took profits after it outperformed Coles. Woolworths operates in the Consumer Staples sector within the Food and Staples Retailing industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 45 comments from 23 fund managers, including Ausbil, Pendal, Yarra, Perennial and PM Capital. Founded in 1924 and headquartered in Sydney, Woolworths operates supermarkets in Australia and New Zealand, Big W, BWS liquor stores and the Everyday Rewards loyalty program.
