Coles Q3 Sales Up 3.1% on Supermarket

Coles Group reported Q3 sales up 3.1% to A$10.7 billion, driven by supermarkets and e‑commerce growth.
Supermarket revenue rose 4.0% to A$9.78 billion while online sales jumped 24.8%, reaching 13.6% of supermarket sales.
Liquor division sales fell 3.9% to A$781 million, with comparable sales down 4.3% amid weaker consumer sentiment.
Coles warned rising fuel, freight and packaging costs could pressure margins, though early Q4 supermarket trends appear in line with Q3.
