In a preview of the grocer's first quarter results due out during the following week, they also said they would be surprised if Sainsbury were to adjust its guidance for full-year post tax profits of £640m-£700m.
Underlying its estimates, ShoreCap said it was assuming a "broadly flat" Grocery contribution year-on-year with General Merchandise expected to account for the 'delta' due to tough comparatives.
The broker's own estimates for post tax profits of £660m, which would be down from £690m during the previous year.
ShoreCap was the house broker for Sainsbury.
