Coles Group (ASX:COL) outperformed Woolworths Group (ASX:WOW) in trading over the December 2024 quarter for the first time since January 2017, according to a Friday report by The Australian, citing investing and financial firm UBS.
UBS noted that its 37th supermarket supplier survey conducted from Jan. 6 to 29 rated the supermarket giants across 26 sub-categories on a scale of one to 10.
Coles averaged a score of 6.72, while Woolworths scored 6.68, UBS said, per the report.
The UBS survey findings follow Macquarie Equities' analysis that Coles will benefit from the supply chain disruptions at Woolworths last month, the report said.
