Future outlook

Financial statements release 2024, published on 5 February 2025

Outlook and profit guidance for 2025

Kesko Group’s profit guidance is given for the year 2025, in comparison with the year 2024.

Kesko’s operating environment is estimated to improve in 2025, but to still remain somewhat challenging. Kesko’s comparable operating profit is estimated to improve in 2025. Kesko estimates that its comparable operating profit in 2025 will amount to €640-740 million. The profit guidance is based on an estimate of a gradually improving economic cycle in all Kesko operating countries. Key uncertainties impacting Kesko’s outlook are developments in consumer confidence, investment appetites, as well as geopolitical crises and tensions.

In grocery trade, B2C trade and the foodservice market are estimated to remain stable. In 2025, the comparable operating margin for the grocery trade division is estimated to stay clearly above 6% despite the investments in price and the store site network in accordance with Kesko’s strategy for 2024-2026.

In building and technical trade, the cycle is expected to improve in 2025 from the historically low levels. Profitability in the building and technical trade division is estimated to improve on 2024.

In car trade, the market for new cars is expected to stay at a low level. Demand for used cars and services is estimated to remain good. Profitability for the car trade division is estimated to remain at a good level in 2025 despite weak demand for new cars.
