flag Morrisons grew sales for 12th quarter straight but saw slight market share drop despite price cuts and cost savings.

flag Morrisons reported a 3.4% rise in like-for-like sales for the six weeks to January 4, driven by strong demand for premium own-brand products and gains in non-food and clothing, marking its 12th consecutive quarter of sales growth. flag Despite flat underlying earnings at £835 million due to a £200 million cost increase from government policies and a cyber incident, the company maintained market share and EBITDA. flag It announced 2,500 additional price cuts in January 2026 and reported £233 million in cost savings, bringing total savings to £845 million, with expectations to exceed a £1 billion target by 2025–26. flag However, industry data showed a slight market share decline to 8.5% in the 12 weeks to December 28, down from 8.6% the prior year, as Lidl narrowed the gap.
