Sainsbury shares under pressure
By FWi staff
SAINSBURY shares could come under pressure amid speculation that the supermarket chain had a gloomy Christmas, reports the DailY Mail.
Underlying sales rose between 1-2%, but Safeway and Tesco are expected to show 4% rises and Morrisons is tipped to record a 6% increase.
The Mail says if doom-mongers are correct, Sainsbury pre-tax profits will have to be trimmed from the current figure of 539m.
