Jack Brumby
Tesco (LON:TSCO) is the UK's leading grocer. After a tough few years that has seen it grapple with food deflation and market gains from overseas discounters such as Aldi and Lidl, the group now appears to be turning around its fortunes.
Right now the Tesco share price appears to represent solid value, as shown in the group's Value Rank of 57. That might not sound great now, but, with profitability showing signs of growth, this could improve in the future.
Let's explore Tesco's Value Rank in more detail.
