Tesco has announced the disposal of its Asian business to CP Group, the largest conglomerate in Thailand. The $10.6bn cash deal (equivalent to £8.2bn) tops the market’s expectations and a healthier balance sheet should help Tesco to tackle better the increasing competition on its domestic turf. We remain positive on the stock.
