AB Foods warns of Primark’s FY23 outlook
0726 GMT: Associated British Foods’ FY2022 update shows this year met expectations, but there is caution around Primark’s FY2023 margin outlook, says RBC Capital Markets.

RBC retains its sector performance rating and price target of 1,700 pence on the share. Shares are down 6% at 1,367.5 pence. ([email protected])
