Despite efforts to reduce prices and improve store offerings, the company has seen a 6% drop in profits. Tesco's brand struggles to represent quality or value, leading customers to shop elsewhere. However, online sales have increased by 11%, and Tesco continues to invest in technology and price cuts.
