John Lewis mulls diluting employee ownership structure.

John Lewis is reportedly considering selling a minority stake in its employee-owned business structure to raise up to £2bn for investment in technology, data analysis, and Waitrose's supply chain. The move would not remove the mutual ownership structure altogether, and staff would retain majority control. The profit-sharing model has occasionally resulted in big windfalls, but the firm has had to navigate the pandemic and a cost of living crisis, resulting in a loss of £234m in 2022-3 and no bonus to staff. John Lewis has not commented on the reports.
