TESCO

Tesco is weighing the sale of its Central and Eastern Europe operations, which Morgan Stanley says generate £4.6bn in sales but contribute only £115m to EBIT. The division comprises 561 stores in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia with more than 22,000 employees and reported EBITDA of £264m in fiscal year 2026, with an EBIT margin of around 2.5%. The property value of the stores is estimated at £1.8bn (net book value £1.4bn), lease liabilities under IFRS 16 amount to about £680m; market transactions in the region typically trade at 5–7x EV/EBITDA. » More on de.investing.com

According to a report, Tesco is considering selling its operations in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which together employ more than 22,000 people. A sale would mark the end of Tesco’s thirty-year international expansion and limit the business to the UK and Ireland. The company has already sold several overseas units after the 2014 accounting scandal, including Homeplus in South Korea and units in Thailand and Malaysia. » More on de.investing.com
