An update from Super Retail Group Limited ( (AU:SUL) ) is now available.
Super Retail Group reported modest group like-for-like sales growth of 0.4 per cent for the first 44 weeks of the second half of FY26, with total sales up 3.3 per cent, as trading conditions softened amid the Middle East conflict, higher fuel prices, rising interest rates and weaker consumer sentiment. Supercheap Auto and rebel gained market share despite pressure on discretionary categories, while BCF was hardest hit by elevated fuel costs and reduced outdoor activity, and Macpac’s earlier strong momentum eased ahead of its key winter season.
Group gross margin in the second half to date is slightly below the prior period, reflecting the tougher environment, but the company has leveraged its strong balance sheet to invest about $30 million in additional working capital to secure inventory ahead of price rises and to support regional supply in case of further fuel-related disruptions. Management also flagged higher Group and Unallocated costs of $66 million for FY26, up from prior guidance of $60 million, as it brings forward spending tied to the new Victorian distribution centre and a new HR core and payroll system, signalling continued investment in supply chain and systems transformation despite near-term cost headwinds.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SUL) stock is a Buy with a A$15.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Super Retail Group Limited stock, see the AU:SUL Stock Forecast page.
