Woolworths (WOW) - 1H24 result insights

Woolworths 1H24 EBIT growth of 3% revealed a stark contrast amongst its divisions, with Australian Food EBIT up 10%, but NZ earnings down 41% and Big W down 60%.

With a change of CEO and weaker food inflation outlook, we expect the earnings outlook on the company to be moderated.
