Sainsbury’s sells Argos to Swift Partners for £120m – Daily Business

Argos has been acquired by Swift Partners

Sainsbury’s has agreed to sell Argos to Swift Partners for at least £120 million in cash proceeds, a move intended to allow Sainsbury’s to focus on its core food business and support Argos’s future growth.

The transaction, expected to complete in February 2027, will result in a broadly neutral impact on Sainsbury’s underlying operating profit and is anticipated to improve retail free cash flow generation.

Long-term commercial agreements will maintain ongoing value through rental income and Nectar-related income. Sainsbury’s continues to forecast total underlying operating profit between £975 million and £1,075 million and retail free cash flow exceeding £500 million in FY27.
