Universal Store Holdings Ltd. ( (AU:UNI) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Universal Store Holdings has reported strong year-to-date retail sales growth across its banners in the first 43 weeks of FY26, led by double-digit like-for-like gains at Universal Store and Perfect Stranger and robust in-store growth at CTC. Store expansion continued for Universal Store and Perfect Stranger, while the company cited reduced online discounting as a drag on CTC’s digital sales.
The group flagged a structural deterioration in CTC’s wholesale channel, driven by the closure of key third-party retail partners and lower intercompany sales, and will recognise a non-cash impairment of about $24 million to CTC intangible assets. Despite this, Universal Store lifted its FY26 guidance, projecting mid-teens growth in sales and underlying EBITA versus FY25, underscoring management’s confidence in the core retail strategy amid challenging macroeconomic conditions.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:UNI) stock is a Buy with a A$9.60 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Universal Store Holdings Ltd. stock, see the AU:UNI Stock Forecast page.
