Super Retail's Investor Day Contained a Double Surprise -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Jun 12

2244 GMT - There were two surprises for Jefferies at Super Retail's investor day yesterday. Super Retail unexpectedly signaled higher unallocated costs from spending on projects and outlined plans to accelerate the roll out of new stores. Jefferies, which rates Super Retail at hold, highlights that sportswear business Rebel's profit margins have declined in the past five years despite its store footprint remaining largely unchanged. That makes analyst Michael Simotas cautious about plans to increase the chain's floor space at a compound annual rate of 5%. "Valuation undemanding but weak consumer backdrop and cost inflation leave us cautious on the near-term outlook," he says of Super Retail's stock. Super Retail ended Thursday at A$12.35, above Jefferies's A$12.00/share price target. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
