Key Stats

Growth Potential

• JBH is trading below our revised valuation and offers a solid dividend yield.
• Being a low-cost retailer and able to provide low prices to consumers (JB Hi-Fi & The Good Guys) puts the Company in a good position to compete against rivals (e.g., Amazon), even in a value driven / competitive trading environment.
• Changes in the macro environment (moderating inflation and declining interest rates) are expected to be positive for retail sales + consumer sentiment (especially as the RBA delivers more interest rate cuts).
• Market leading positions in key customer categories mean suppliers ensure their products are available through the JBH network.
• Given the high exposure to technology (phones, laptops) and home appliances, JBH is also leveraged to the replacement cycle.
• Clear value proposition and market positioning (recognized as the value brand).
• Strong balance sheet gives flexibility to undertake additional capital management initiatives. 
• Highly respected management team.

Key Risks

• Increase in competitive pressures drives gross margin pressure if the competitive environment remains elevated.
• Increase in cost of doing business.
• Investment risk – high capex requirements due to investment in supply chains.
• Lack of new product releases or slower technology upgrade cycle.
• Store roll-out strategy stalls or new stores cannibalize existing stores.
