Credit Suisse Group AG raised its Woolworths share price target from $40.43 to $40.80 and retains a neutral rating. It describes the quarterly trading update as solid with online sales channels ahead of competitors. It sees this as an advantage for Woolworths going forward but does raise concern for higher costs.

The broker was impressed with its first quarter sales update which were ahead of expectations and better than its main rival Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL). Macquarie expects a strong Christmas trading period for the supermarket leader.
Morgan Stanley raised its Woolworths share price target from $43.50 to $44.00 and retains its overweight rating. The investment bank reacted positively to its first quarter sales update with growth being better than expected.
