The latest update is out from JB Hi-Fi Limited ( (AU:JBH) ).

JB Hi-Fi reported solid Q3 FY26 sales growth across its core brands, with JB Hi-Fi Australia, JB Hi-Fi New Zealand, and The Good Guys all delivering positive comparable and total sales increases, while recently acquired e&s showed a modest improvement despite negative comparable sales in the quarter. The company highlighted a challenging backdrop of component-driven cost increases, stock shortages, and intensified competition in technology, but signalled confidence in navigating the crucial end-of-financial-year trading period by leveraging supplier relationships, sharpening value, and maintaining strong customer service to support demand and protect its market position.

Sales momentum in New Zealand was particularly strong, with JB Hi-Fi New Zealand achieving high double-digit growth on both a comparable and total basis in Q3 and year-to-date, underscoring the brand’s expanding footprint in that market. The performance update indicates that, despite macro and supply chain headwinds, the group is sustaining growth across key banners, which is likely to reassure investors and other stakeholders about the resilience of its multi-brand strategy and its operational discipline heading into a peak trading window.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:JBH) stock is a Buy with a A$85.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on JB Hi-Fi Limited stock, see the AU:JBH Stock Forecast page.
