Who owns Asda Group Limited

Asda Group Limited - Profile

Asda is one of the largest grocery chains in the United Kingdom, ranking third by market share behind Tesco and Sainsbury's, and trades from Leeds in West Yorkshire. It began in 1949 as Associated Dairies and Farm Stores at Knottingley and took the Asda name in 1965 when the Asquith family's stores merged with Noel Stockdale's dairy business. The company runs superstores, supercentres, supermarkets, Asda Living home and general merchandise stores and Asda Express convenience sites, together with petrol filling stations and an online grocery operation, and it owns the George clothing and homeware brand. In October 2023 it bought the United Kingdom forecourt and convenience business of EG Group for about 2.27 billion pounds, adding 356 petrol station sites that were rebranded as Asda Express along with franchised food outlets.

The disclosed stakes

One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.

Where each figure comes from

A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.

• Walmart Inc.. Existence of the position is filed: the FY2026 10-K states the Company's debt investments 'are immaterial and primarily relate to its retained investment in Asda, the Company's former retail operations in the U.K.' Total debt investments measured using Level 3 inputs were $1,176m at 31 Jan 2026 and $1,181m at 31 Jan 2025, but that line is not broken out by investee and is characterised as debt, not equity. Secondary sources report a retained 10% equity stake alongside TDR Capital and Mohsin Issa; no page containing that figure was fetched in this task, so no percentage is recorded here. Size is therefore null rather than estimated. source
