Super Retail Group Limited ( (AU:SUL) ) has provided an update.
Super Retail Group reported first-half FY26 sales of $2.2 billion, up 4.2%, with like-for-like sales rising 2.5% and online revenue growing 8.8% to $311.7 million. Supercheap Auto and Macpac led growth, while rebel delivered moderate gains and BCF was flat against a record prior year, contributing to an 8% lift in active club members to 13 million.
Despite top-line growth, profitability softened as gross margin slipped 20 basis points to 45.4% and normalised NPAT fell 6.8% to $121.9 million, with statutory NPAT down 19.8%. Higher wages, occupancy costs, and investment in a new Victorian distribution centre and HR and payroll systems weighed on margins, though the group maintained a $108 million cash balance, no drawn bank debt, and declared a fully franked interim dividend of 32 cents per share.
Operationally, Super Retail Group opened 16 stores and closed 10, kept inventory quality high with aged stock below target, and saw 93% of sales still completed in store despite digital growth. Management highlighted improved safety metrics and stronger customer outcomes, underscoring continued investment in brand loyalty and infrastructure as the group navigates a competitive retail environment and cost pressures.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SUL) stock is a Hold with a A$15.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Super Retail Group Limited stock, see the AU:SUL Stock Forecast page.
