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

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.

That brings Woolworths back to a known squeeze. The group has to hold prices low to keep shoppers coming, but that can eat into profit.

Woolworths holds firm in early ASX trade; RBA keeps rates steady

Woolworths Group Ltd traded flat into the ASX pre-open on Wednesday. The shares finished Tuesday at A$38.26, up 0.03%. There was no new price-sensitive news from the company. Its own site listed an intraday range from A$37.88 to A$38.29 late Tuesday. This is key because the market isn’t open for regular trading yet. ASX cash equities sit in pre-open from 0700 to 0959 Sydney time. Normal trading only starts near 0959:45, so Woolworths is still priced at Tuesday's close.

Woolworths trades at A$38.33 as ASX rally puts spotlight on grocery strategy

Woolworths Group Ltd shares pushed higher Friday, finishing at A$38.33. The stock traded as low as A$38.09 and as high as A$38.50 during the session, based on company price data. Woolworths is up 8.71% over the past week, according to Intelligent Investor, a notable gain given the size and defensive profile of the retailer. The S&P/ASX 200 rallied too, up 1.98% to 8,804 as part of a wider move. Woolworths is seen as a defensive name since it sells essentials like groceries, so investors look for its earnings to hold up when the economy slows. But after a rally that pushed Woolworths’ shares up almost 9% in a week and 30% since the start of 2026, some investors are questioning

Now, the market is watching to see if WOW can keep margins up as customers stay price-sensitive. Woolworths’ latest update wasn't about sales or dividends, but about cutting corporate jobs. The retailer plans to offshore hundreds of roles, the ABC said, with staff consultations starting Wednesday. People, IT, and Finance teams look set to be in scope, though Woolworths hasn't confirmed how many jobs go.
