Downgrade to Neutral from Buy

$3.90

-6.47%

Metcash's FY25 EBIT of $507.8m came in at the top end of guidance. While housing construction is recovering from weak levels, Citi believes the consensus is too optimistic for hardware earnings in FY26.

The analyst notes the recovery in detached housing approvals is not as robust as anticipated, meaning a more substantial recovery in Metcash's hardware business is now not expected until FY27.

The benefits of negative sentiment towards the large retailers which previously benefitted the company are expected to subside as the likes of Woolworths Group ((WOW)) work to change customer perceptions.

The broker lowered the FY26 EBIT forecast by -2% but left FY27 unchanged.

Rating downgraded to Neutral from Buy. Target lifted to $3.90 from $3.70 on recent share outperformance.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 18.00 cents and EPS of 26.30 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 18.00 cents and EPS of 26.90 cents.

Overweight

$4.10

-1.68%

In a review of private label products vs brands for supermarkets, Jarden notes penetration in Australia lags the global trend, highlighting an opportunity to grow own brands.

There is also a substantial gap in profitability vs offshore, with margins lower on average. The broker reckons retailers should focus on higher margin products like health, home, fresh and bakery to boost margins.

Woolworths Group ((WOW) remains the broker's preference, followed by Metcash.

Overweight. Target price $4.10.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 23.00 cents and EPS of 26.60 cents.
