We are likely to see an acceleration in rollouts starting in FY26 (Financial Year 2026).
This is based on two key drivers:
* Financial Milestone: Ocado is on target to turn cash flow positive during FY26, which is crucial for funding faster expansion and reassuring new partners.
* Technology Maturity: The newest innovations ("Re:Imagined" bots and robotic picking) are now rolling out at scale to global partners, leading to significant productivity boosts (like the 50% throughput increase seen at Kroger's Detroit CFC), which makes the economics more compelling for future site commitments.
I'm so frustrated by the total absence of reaction to the Kroger bombshell. My gut instinct, based on everything that I am seeing is that Ocado technology should be flying. The pivot from a 'one size fits all' mahoosive CFC option to more appropriately sized, weighted, scoped solutions that are bespoke to differing markets seems to be the evolution that has been coming forever... So when exactly will we start to see this evolving technology roll out at pace?
The stagnation is just baffling to me. Come on Steiner, pull your finger out!
Those that benefit from holes in regulation will always be one step ahead of any potential filling of that hole. Any benefit will be likely marginal, although welcome.
Turnarounds always take longer than ideal, this is no exception.
I'm wholly confident that ASOS are on the right track now and LTH will be rewarded accordingly. SP will be double this in twelve months from now, as a minimum.
Any technical analysts here? Looking at the monthly chart, are we at the neckline of an inverse head and shoulders? If so, possible pullback to circa £1.00?
