Sono appena stato colpito da un annuncio su Instagram dei socialdemocratici che si sono messi nel Taoiseach per non avere le viscere politiche per costringere i rivenditori di generi alimentari a pubblicare i loro profitti.
Che pensavo fosse un po ‘strano a causa delle varie leggi che richiedono loro di fare proprio questo.
Un rapido Google mostra che Tesco ha realizzato un profitto di circa 95 milioni in Irlanda nel 2023/4. Ora sono figure principali. Quindi potrebbe essere mancato qualche sfumatura.
https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2024/11/09/tesco-generates-full-ans-sales-of-33bn-in-ireland-and-posts-double-digit-pise-in-profit/ Tesco genera vendite per l’intero anno di € 3,3 miliardi in Irlanda e posti a doppia cifra di profitto-The Irish Times
Che suona alla grande. Ma è solo circa il 3,7% del fatturato.
Si potrebbe sostenere che quasi 100 m è ancora troppo, ed è ovviamente dopo altri fattori come la compensazione della suite C ecc.
Ma se prendi il loro profitto, la quota di mercato e lo dividi, finisci con loro realizzando un profitto di € 8 a settimana a persona.
Allora cosa sarebbe giusto? Stanno facendo troppo?
Sinceramente interessato a una discussione qui perché a fronte delle cose non mi sembra così.
Are Supermarkets Making Too Much Money?

Probably.
I do find it funny that the politicians will go after the retailers, but not the much more politically powerful agrifood producers. They’ve been making mega-profits also, paying nice dividends and doing stock buybacks, and have some of the best remunerated executives in the country.
Seldom a word of criticism.
That they basically own the most powerful lobbying organisation in the country probably has nothing to do with that.
The Soc Dems aren’t a serious party.
Depends on who you ask.
I want to like the Social Dems but sometimes….
“But if you take their profit, market share and divide it across, you end up with them making about a €8 per week profit per person.”
Not in finance but is this a known metric of derving any sort of meaning when it comes to market unfairness or corperate greed? This seems like a truly bonkers way to evaluate if mega corperations are making too much money.
They definitely are. It’s brutal.
> The Social Democrats laying into the Taoiseach about not having the political guts to force grocery retailers to publish their profits.
> Which I thought was a bit weird because of the various laws requiring them to do just that.
This whole wheeze form the SDs is classic for them. Make a lot of noise, generate that sweet sweet social media engagement, accomplish nothing.
The grocery retailers make tiny margins on basically all the stuff they sell. Big chains like Tesco will sometimes make a loss on limited special offers just to get people in the door.
I thought the soc dems were accusing supermarkets of price gouging rather than making excessive profits? I don’t think either is the case, price gouging isn’t really possible because competition between the different chains is too tight.
Where did the term ‘cost of living crisis’ come from, because it seems to be a newish phrase, and not one I can remember from the Great Recession or before. It’s like it’s been created to condition us to expect to being ripped off, we accept everything is expensive because there’s a ‘crisis’.
Easy pick on one piece of society to deflect from the fact the electricity and gas prices are still sky high.
Motor insurance is all over the place despite them telling us it would come down.
Rent hitting all sort of wrong records.
It’s almost like they want to make enuf fuss about something they can’t control to deflect from what they can
