JB Hi-Fi has stated intentions of chasing sales and market share at the expense of gross margins. Brokers diverge on the degree of success anticipated over the next several years.

The Chartist reports Harvey Norman is likely setting for a bounce but only ahead of further weakness.

The Chartist reports the technicals are reflecting the fundamental issues currently facing JB Hi-Fi.

JB Hi-Fi posted accelerating sales growth in its core business in the March quarter. Meanwhile, CEO of The Good Guys will leave at the end of April, to be replaced by a former JB Hi-Fi CEO.

The Chartist suggests JB Hi-Fi is presenting a buying opportunity.

Several brokers question whether electronics retailer JB Hi-Fi is too reliant on a smooth integration of The Good Guys in its outlook.

Household goods and electronics retailer JB Hi-Fi posted strong sales in the September quarter but the company has chosen not to upgrade its full year guidance.

JB Hi-Fi will acquire The Good Guys in a highly anticipated move expected to make the group the dominant player in the white goods and electrical retailing sector.
