Woolworths – Valuation Review

Posted on | by Leon Hinde

Woolworths Group has been trading sideways in 2020 within the $35 to $40 price range. This provides a trading range for investors to consider or alternatively, selling calls at the upper band to generate extra cash flow.

On a valuation basis, using 10% EPS growth into 2022, it supports a 3% fully franked dividend yield and places the stock on a 34x forward PE ratio.
