Will GIS sustain pound share gains in 7+ of 10 top categories through H2 FY2026?
Current Prediction
Why This Question Matters
Sustained pound share gains would confirm the pricing investments are working as designed and are not one-time effects.
Prediction Distribution
Individual Predictions(9 runs)
Currently gaining in 8/10 with 90%+ pricing investments working. The pricing investments should sustain through H2 as they are ongoing programs, not one-time promotions. 7/10 is a lower bar than the current 8/10.
Competitive response could erode gains in some categories. Private label may increase promotional intensity. 7/10 provides some buffer for 1-2 category reversals.
Innovation pipeline (protein, fiber, GLP-1 adjacency) and Remarkability program provide structural support for share gains beyond just pricing.
8/10 current performance with 7/10 threshold provides meaningful cushion. Pricing investments are ongoing. Likely to sustain.
Consumer staples share gains can reverse quickly if competitors respond. But GIS has strong category positions. ~60%.
Pricing investments working as modeled (90%+) suggests durability. H2 continuation is the base case.
Current 8/10 with 7/10 threshold. Strong base for continuation. ~62%.
Pricing investments sustain. Competition is the risk. ~60%.
Strong position. Buffer for 1-2 reversals. ~63%.
Resolution Criteria
Resolves YES if GIS reports or implies pound share gains in 7 or more of its top 10 NAR categories for the full FY2026 period. Resolves NO if gains are in fewer than 7 categories.
