MaxiPARTS Holds Profit Guidance as Global Turmoil Hits Transport Demand

MaxiPARTS Limited ( (AU:MXI) ) has issued an announcement.

MaxiPARTS reported that trading conditions weakened from March as the Middle East conflict drove fuel price volatility, diesel availability concerns and caution among transport operators, prompting customers to defer parts procurement and limit servicing to essentials. Although activity has modestly recovered and stabilised in April and May at levels similar to the prior year, it remains below pre-disruption highs and earlier revenue expectations, highlighting the sector’s sensitivity to global geopolitical shocks.

The Förch Australia business is proving more resilient, continuing to grow at low double‑digit rates year on year and cushioning the softer performance of the core MaxiPARTS operations. Management has reacted with cost‑reduction and working capital measures designed to protect margins, improve cash conversion and reduce net debt, and now expects full‑year FY26 revenue of $273 million to $278 million and underlying operating NPBT of $13.4 million to $14.1 million, broadly in line with earlier profit guidance despite lower activity and higher freight costs.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:MXI) stock is a Buy with a A$2.85 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on MaxiPARTS Limited stock, see the AU:MXI Stock Forecast page.
