An update from Endeavour Group Ltd ( (AU:EDV) ) is now available.
Endeavour Group reported modest group sales growth of 1.0% to $6.68 billion for the 27 weeks to 4 January 2026, with total retail sales up 0.3% to $5.5 billion and hotel sales rising 4.4% to $1.2 billion. The core Dan Murphy’s and BWS chains returned to firmer momentum with four consecutive months of growth and a record December, helped by stepped-up investment in lower shelf prices and aggressive promotions, but this strategy compressed retail gross profit margins by about 85 basis points and is expected to pull Retail EBIT down to $323–328 million. At group level, EBIT before significant items is projected at $555–566 million and profit before tax at $400–411 million, below the prior period, while the company also flagged $45 million in pre-tax significant items for the half. Management framed the margin trade-off as a deliberate move to reinforce price leadership and re-ignite top-line growth in a competitive market, signalling ongoing initiatives in pricing sophistication, customer experience and cost reduction that will take time to flow through, even as the hotels division continues to deliver robust like-for-like growth and record trading over the peak holiday period.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:EDV) stock is a Hold with a A$3.60 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Endeavour Group Ltd stock, see the AU:EDV Stock Forecast page.
