Coles Group (COL) Steps away from fuel

Focus on supermarkets and liquor

Published: 24 September 2022

Coles has announced the sale of its Fuel & Convenience business to Viva Energy. The company emphasises its desire to focus on its “omni-channel” supermarkets and liquor businesses, as well as become Australia’s most “sustainable” supermarket. The deal is mildly EPS accretive and a decent price for Coles. On our estimates the sale price is 12x EV/EBIT (FY23e) and 0.6% EPS accretive in FY24e. We do see some downside risks over time as Coles may lose the grocery wholesaling business and the cost of fuel discounts may rise.
