Price Performance
Growth Potential
- JBH should trade at a premium to the market like other quality retailers like Wesfarmers (WES) & Premier Investment Group (PMV).
- 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.
