Pre-tax profits climbed to £2.3 billion for the year ending 31 March, up from £1.8 billion the previous year.

Some Kroger locations will be closing soon as part of the company's plans to shutter dozens of stores across the country.

Hotel Pipeline Bloat: U.S. Construction Hits Wall
The U.S. hotel construction pipeline is bloated with planned projects that aren't breaking ground, a sign the country's already sluggish supply growth may be stalling further. Roughly 139,000 hotel rooms were under construction nationwide at the end of the second quarter, according to CoStar, down around 15,000 from the same time last year. Meanwhile, the number of rooms stuck in planning and final planning stages has swelled to more than 615,000. Those in the final planning stage rose nearly 10% from a year ago. Developers still want to build, and brands are pushing new products. But deals are increasingly unworkable, caught between high costs and tight lending held back by elevated interest rates. 'The reason why we see this deceleration in rooms in construction and this acceleration in final planning is purely the interest rate,' said Jan Freitag, national director of hospitality analytics at CoStar. 'It's just very, very tough

Shrugging Off Tariffs, Car Buyers Drive July Retail Sales
Key Takeaways U.S. retail sales increased by 0.5% in July, aligning with economists' expectations. July's figures represent a slowdown from June spending levels, which were revised higher in this month's report. Auto dealers and online retailers saw some of the most significant increases in July, while spending at restaurants and bars dipped. Consumer spending slowed down slightly in July, but the data showed that people are still making automobile purchases and shopping online even amid tariff pressures. 'Consumers maintain a moderate rate of spending and even picked up the pace in the past two months as the tariff-price pass-through has been limited thus far,' wrote Nationwide Chief Economist Kathy Bostjancic. Census Bureau data showed that July retail sales were $726.3 billion, a 0.5% increase from the prior month. This was a slowdown from the June data, which was revised higher to show a 0.9% increase, but it was in line with economists' projections. 'The solid increase in retail sales in July and upward revisions to past months indicate consumers are down but not out this year,' wrote Michael Pearce, deputy chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. Car Sales, Prime Day Help Drive July Increases Auto dealers saw a 1.6% increase in sales, while furniture retailers saw sales similarly higher. This comes as some economists are watching for tariff impacts on car sales and companies report lower furniture demand. 'After tariff distortions to auto purchases earlier in the year, consumers have returned to auto showrooms ready to buy,' wrote Bostjancic in a commentary. A 0.8% increase in nonstore retailer sales includes results from e-commerce firms like Amazon, which held its annual Prime Day sales event in July. Miscellaneous store retailers showed the steepest decline in sales, while the restaurant and bar sales, a measure of discretionary spending, also ticked lower. The data also detailed stronger retail sales results from June, which reflected a bounce back in spending after sales dropped in May. Economists closely follow retail sales as a measure of consumer spending because it makes up about two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. 'In a world where there are plenty of macro-related worries tied to inflation and employment, consumers are still out there spending,' said Bret Kenwell, eToro U.S. investment analyst. 'Retailers will start reporting earnings next week, which should provide more insights into consumer behavior.' Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT) and Home Depot (HD) are among a string of retailers on next week's corporate earnings calendar.
