Sainsbury earnings forecasts show a softer longer-term outlook
The estimate revisions were more pronounced for fiscal 2028 than for fiscal 2027. Over the preceding 90 days, the fiscal 2027 revenue forecast moved from $33.75 billion to $33.73 billion, while the fiscal 2028 forecast fell from $34.83 billion to $32.41 billion.
Expected earnings per share for fiscal 2027 remained at $0.19. For fiscal 2028, the estimate declined from $0.22 to $0.20. These figures are analyst forecasts, not reported results or company guidance, and are expressed in US dollars.
The revisions indicate reduced expectations for the later year, rather than evidence of an already-reported deterioration in performance. The interim announcement will provide actual results against which investors can assess the annual outlook.

The reporting calendar beyond the interim release
The October announcement is an interim results release for fiscal 2026/27, rather than a standalone second-quarter report. That distinction matters when comparing the results with annual forecasts.
Sainsbury’s financial calendar lists a third-quarter trading statement for January 8, 2027, followed by the preliminary results announcement for fiscal 2026/27 on April 22, 2027. Those are the next scheduled updates beyond the interim release.
Conclusion
The immediate event to watch is the October 22 interim results announcement, which will allow investors to compare reported performance with the revised annual expectations.
