Endeavour Group Rekindles Retail Growth as Hotels Hit Record Sales in First-Half FY26

The latest update is out from Endeavour Group Ltd ( (AU:EDV) ).

Endeavour Group reported first-half FY26 Group sales of $6.7 billion, with retail sales momentum improving and hotels delivering solid growth despite a decline in underlying EBIT and NPAT. Liquor brands Dan Murphy’s and BWS returned to top-line growth, supported by aggressive price leadership, record December trading, and a strong uplift in online sales, while the Hotels division achieved record monthly revenues driven by refurbished venues and increased gaming activity.

Management confirmed it will retain the combined Retail and Hotels portfolio and outlined a strategy focused on restoring Dan Murphy’s price leadership, sharpening brand roles, accelerating hotel renewals and EGM upgrades, and simplifying operations following its separation from Woolworths. This integrated approach is aimed at leveraging Endeavour’s scale, strengthening its competitive position in both liquor and hospitality, and ultimately unlocking greater value for shareholders despite near-term earnings pressure.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:EDV) stock is a Sell with a A$3.20 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Endeavour Group Ltd stock, see the AU:EDV Stock Forecast page.
