Tesco stock ended the latest session at 461.20 GBp, up 0.87%, with a market cap of £28.727 billion and a 52-week range of 411.70 GBp to 510.40 GBp as of August 25, 2026. The same snapshot shows volume of 16,546,466 shares and a 1-year return of 8.19%.
Latest reported numbers
The latest reported figures visible in the market snapshot show revenue of £73.71 billion, net income of £1.79 billion, and diluted EPS of 0.27 on a trailing basis. That compares with a trailing net margin of 2.42% and return on equity of 15.46%, which keeps the scale of the business in view for investors.
A second comparison stands out: the share price of 461.20 GBp sits below the 52-week high of 510.40 GBp, while the analyst average target of 514.00 GBp is still above the current level. MarketBeat also lists a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and notes a price target of 483.75 GBp.
Peer context
Compared with J Sainsbury, which was quoted at 335.60 GBp in the same market overview, Tesco carries the larger market value and a wider trading range. The backdrop matters because the stock has risen 4.39% year to date, but it has lagged the FTSE 100's 9.29% YTD return in the same period.
Product and business
Tesco's grocery-led model still centers on food retail, convenience stores, and online ordering, with the company also selling mobile, insurance, and wholesale services. The business mix helps explain why the market focuses on margin, volume, and cash generation rather than one single product cycle.
Price and investor view
At 461.20 GBp, Tesco trades with a trailing P/E of 17.08 and a forward P/E of 14.84, according to the same market snapshot as of August 25, 2026. That leaves the shares between the current market level and the 514.00 GBp average target.
