Tesco is one of the worlds leading international retailers. Since the company first the trading name of Tesco, in the mid 1920s, the group has expanded into different formats, different markets and different sectors. The UKs leading retailer Tesco was floated on the stock exchange in 1947 and in 1995 took over rival Sainsburys position as the UK number one. The principal activity of the group is food retailing, with over 2,000 stores worldwide. Tesco has a long term strategy for growth, based on four key parts: growth in the Core UK business, to expand by growing internationally, to be as strong in non-food as in food and to follow customers into new retailing services. The company launched a home shopping service in 2000, allowing customers to order their shopping online. Tesco is now expanding its convenience stores and overseas into areas such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Poland, the US and Ireland.

TSCO is being attacked from above (Sainsbury and Waitrose) and below (Aldi and Liddle), nowhere for them to go.

Tesco still has one bomb, a HUGE price war. HUGE being the word. No supermarket would want this. This has been talked about in the past, may be used if the turn around fails.

LONDON (ShareCast) - Tesco (LSE: TSCO.L - news) shares continued to fall on Thursday, following a disappointing set of second quarter results from the supermarket giant the previous day. Knocking investor sentiment further was broker Exane BNP Paribas, which cut its targe on the stock from 325p to 300p, and maintained its underperform rating.

Retail sales rise as chilly weather boosts clothing demand - BRC
LONDON | Tue Oct 9, 2012 2:57am BST
(Reuters) - British retail sales posted a solid rise last month as Britons splashed out on sturdy shoes and warm clothes, the British Retail Consortium said on Tuesday, raising the chances of a more lasting economic recovery.
Internet sales also showed some signs of a rebound after Britons watched the London Olympics and the Paralympics in August and early September rather than shopping online.
Like-for-like retail sales -- or sales at stores open for at least a year -- rose by 1.5 percent in value terms compared with September 2011, following a 0.4 percent dip in August, the BRC said.

Just had a look at the recent broker recommendations.
8 strong buy, 3 buy, 8 neutral, 3 sell, 8 strong sell.
Assuming they use the same data and parameters for their calculations, how can they possibly be that far apart in their forecasts???

Tesco the seventh-most popular pick by the broker's private clients between the market's opening on Monday and today at noon. Heavily bought in the past few weeks following lacklustre results, which saw 30p lopped off the share price, Tesco is evidently still benefiting from last week's broker upgrade from UBS , which put a price of 370p on the share.
On a rating of just nine times forecast earnings, and offering a 4.9% forecast yield, a broker upgrade and 'buy' rating ought to be superfluous to investors with an eye for a blue-chip bargain. But, as they say, every little helps.
