Read our privacy policy Sainsbury’s is set to reveal stronger sales amid a continued boost from Nectar prices and discounter price-matching. In its previous update in July, the retailer said its grocery sales lifted 4.8% as the firm saw robust growth by volume in its first quarter amid a boost from the Euro 2024 football tournament. Earlier this week, Sainsbury’s also struck a deal to sell its Argos credit cards business for £720 million as it retreats from financial services. The agreement comes several months after Sainsbury’s struck a deal with NatWest to sell the bulk of its banking business, including personal loans, credit card balances and customer deposits.
