Woolworths Group (ASX:WOW) share price hits 52-week high as IGA narrows price gap

Woolworths Group entered Tuesday’s pre-open at a 52-week high after closing at A$38.55, up 0.6%, as investors favoured the grocer in a slightly weaker Australian market. Rival Coles added just 0.13%. Normal ASX trading begins shortly before 10 a.m. Sydney time. The move matters because no new Woolworths disclosure caused it. The company’s latest price-sensitive filing remains its April 30 third-quarter sales report, while Monday’s volume was well below the recent average. Taken together, that suggests steady defensive positioning rather than a broad, high-conviction valuation reset — an inference from the trading data, not a company-stated catalyst.
