Tesco Clubcard Freebie Thursdays: Next coupon drop set—what shoppers need to know

Tesco Clubcard Freebie Thursdays: Next coupon drop set—what shoppers need to know

Tesco is telling Clubcard members to look at the Tesco app, with the supermarket rolling out “Freebie Thursdays,” a summer coupon push that gives some shoppers free items in stores. The campaign started Thursday, June 11, and is set to finish Wednesday, July 22. Tesco said a new coupon will go out each Thursday for six weeks, as detailed in the campaign terms. Some Clubcard users got coupons for a free 150g bag of Walkers Sensations, with a few flavours reported like Thai Sweet Chilli, Mature Cheddar & Chutney, Onion & Balsamic Vinegar, and Roast Chicken & Thyme. Those first coupons have to be used by midnight on Wednesday, June 17. The next set is expected on June 18.

Tesco Shares Edge Higher Before Q1 Trading Update, Buyback in Focus

Tesco Shares Edge Higher Before Q1 Trading Update, Buyback in Focus

Tesco PLC shares closed up 0.87% at 473.00p in London on Friday, rising 4.10p for the week, market data showed. The stock is still trading below its 52-week high at 508.00p, but stays well above the 52-week low at 392.60p. Investors are watching to see if the next trading update will support the rally. FTSE 100 jumped 1.6% to 10,471.7 points on Friday as UK markets rallied, helped by talk of a possible U.S.-Iran peace deal that sent oil prices down and boosted risk appetite. Lower oil helps Tesco, as fuel costs ease and shoppers may keep spending. A rising FTSE often means more money into defensive blue-chip names like Tesco.

Tesco share price ticks up with FTSE 100, TSCO buyback in focus

Tesco share price ticks up with FTSE 100, TSCO buyback in focus

Tesco PLC stock pushed higher again in London on Thursday, with the supermarket staying in the spotlight as investors looked at a firmer FTSE 100, active buybacks and an upcoming trading update next week. Hargreaves Lansdown showed Tesco selling at 474.50p and buying at 474.70p, up 5.40p or 1.15%. The FTSE 100 was indicated up 0.82% based on delayed data. Tesco shares jumped 2.92% to £4.69 on Wednesday, ahead of the FTSE 100’s 0.27% rise. The index finished at 10,254.81. MarketWatch said volume was 12.3 million shares, below the 50-day average of 19.0 million.

UK stock market today: FTSE 100 rises, but oil and rate fears keep London on edge

UK stock market today: FTSE 100 rises, but oil and rate fears keep London on edge

London stocks rose on Wednesday, but the move was less a broad vote of confidence than a rotation into oil-linked and defensive shares as investors weighed Middle East risk, higher energy prices and fresh pressure on UK rate expectations. The FTSE 100 ended 0.3% higher at 10,254.8, with the more domestically exposed FTSE 250 up 0.5%. The change from Tuesday mattered. A day earlier, the FTSE 100 had fallen 1.4% to 10,227.33, its weakest close since May 15, dragged down by banks and energy stocks as crude prices slipped and investors monitored the conflict in the Middle East. Wednesday’s rebound only partly repaired that damage.

Tesco PLC share price rises before a key June test for its market-share run

Tesco PLC share price rises before a key June test for its market-share run

Tesco PLC shares climbed on Wednesday, giving investors a fresh reason to look again at the UK’s largest grocer before next week’s trading update. A delayed Reuters/LSEG quote showed the stock at 464.8p, up 8.9p, or 1.95%, while Hargreaves Lansdown data showed a previous close of 455.9p and market value of about £29.26 billion. What changed today was not a new profit forecast. The fresh company filing was another buyback notice. Still, the share move matters because Tesco is heading into its June 18 Q1 trading statement with the market focused on whether recent market-share gains can keep supporting profit, not just sales.

Tesco Outpaced Market Last Week, Eyes on Monday

Tesco Outpaced Market Last Week, Eyes on Monday

Tesco PLC shares look strong going into Monday after ending Friday at 454.30 pence, up 1.36%. That brought a weekly gain of 5.6% as London markets closed for the weekend. Shares rose in four out of five sessions, with the biggest jump on Wednesday, according to market data. Tesco’s defensive tag is back in focus as investors look to see if it still holds up against higher food prices, rising wage bills and stiffer grocery competition. The FTSE 100 closed up 0.07% at 10,368.05 on Friday, MarketWatch data showed.

Tesco Shares in Focus as Buyback Runs Into FTSE Pressure

Tesco Shares in Focus as Buyback Runs Into FTSE Pressure

Tesco PLC shares start Monday still feeling last week’s pain. The stock finished Friday at 448.80 pence, off 0.42% for the day and down about 3.9% from the prior week’s close. That slide came as Britain’s top supermarket increased its share buyback, buying its own shares to return cash and cut the share count. Tesco pushed out its annual report, CEO pay package and a new buyback figure as markets grappled with higher oil prices, worries over UK politics and dropping bond prices. The FTSE 100 slid 1.7% Friday for its sharpest loss in more than eight weeks, Reuters said.

Tesco PLC’s Equal Pay Fight Just Got Harder After Court Ruling

Tesco PLC’s Equal Pay Fight Just Got Harder After Court Ruling

Tesco Stores Ltd, the Tesco PLC subsidiary, lost nearly all arguments in its Court of Appeal push to shape the assessment of evidence in its lengthy equal pay dispute—a blow to Britain’s largest supermarket as it fights on in a separate tribunal. Judges threw out every ground except one, leaving the litigation to proceed. The final decision is still pending. This case has fresh urgency, with Tesco revealing around 62,000 claims so far from both current and ex-hourly store workers—a figure that’s likely to climb as the legal fight drags on. Those bringing the claims argue that jobs in stores and distribution centers should count as equal work when it comes to pay. Tesco, for its part, maintains that it’s

Tesco Court Loss Puts £4bn Equal-Pay Fight Back in Focus as £750m Buyback Rolls On

Tesco Court Loss Puts £4bn Equal-Pay Fight Back in Focus as £750m Buyback Rolls On

Tesco came away mostly empty-handed from its Court of Appeal challenge over tribunal methods for calculating job value in its ongoing equal-pay dispute, leaving a hefty legal shadow as the supermarket giant continues with its £750 million buyback. Tuesday’s ruling focused on whether Tesco’s own training materials could stand as crucial evidence for the demands placed on shop-floor versus distribution workers. Timing is at play here. The case gets renewed attention now, as the ruling lets the tribunal sidestep a full redo of a critical phase that’s been in motion since 2018. The court, however, made clear that a final verdict on the claims remains “a long way off.” Here, equal value boils down to whether distinct roles place similar

Tesco PLC Shares Drop as £750m Buyback Runs Into a UK Retail Squeeze

Tesco PLC Shares Drop as £750m Buyback Runs Into a UK Retail Squeeze

Tesco PLC lost ground on Monday, with shares dropping 2.17% to £4.80 after the company posted its latest buyback update. Investor attention stayed fixed on shaky UK consumer demand and the ongoing threat of inflation linked to conflict. The FTSE 100 also ended lower, off 0.56% in a wider downturn. Timing is key here. Tesco’s handing cash back to shareholders just as households are dealing with pricier fuel and groceries, leaving investors to weigh if buybacks will make up for a more challenging trading climate. When companies buy back their own stock, the number of shares typically shrinks, pushing up earnings per share—that’s profit divided among fewer shares.

Tesco PLC Starts £750 Million Buyback As UK Inflation Squeeze Tests Profit Outlook

Tesco PLC Starts £750 Million Buyback As UK Inflation Squeeze Tests Profit Outlook

Tesco PLC kicked off a share buyback of up to £750 million on Wednesday, moving forward with investor payouts despite a cloudier outlook for prices and shopper demand this year—the UK’s largest grocer isn’t backing away from handing out cash. Tesco announced the buyback will continue through April 2027, with Citigroup Global Markets handling purchases of ordinary shares on both the London Stock Exchange and Cboe Europe. The initial tranche, capped at £250 million, is designed to reduce Tesco’s share capital, the company said.

Tesco PLC ended Thursday up 1.45% at 475.5 pence, after tacking on 6.8 pence by the session’s finish, according to the company’s website. London stocks slipped further, pressured by oil’s climb toward the $100 mark and renewed nerves over inflation. “The longer the disruption goes on, the greater the impact on energy prices and in turn global inflation,” said Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell.
