The team at Catapult Wealth is positive on supermarket giant Coles.

The supermarket industry structure remains favourable, with Coles and competitor Woolworths dominating market share. Coles posted group sales revenue of $45.580 billion in full year 2026, up 2.8 per cent on the earlier corresponding period. Excluding items, group earnings before interest and tax of $2.322 billion was up 9.9 per cent.

Supermarket eCommerce sales was a highlight, growing 26.4 per cent.

Catapult Wealth isn't as positive on NAB and has named it as an ASX 200 share to sell this week.

The Federal Government announced changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing in the May Budget.

The wealth management firm has named Netwealth as an ASX 200 share to buy.

Despite these strong results, the share price has fallen, most likely and partially in response to a compensation payout of about $101 million to members in the collapsed First Guardian Master Fund.
