About Dicker Data

Dicker Data Limited is an Australian distributor of technology hardware, software and cloud products, selling through a network of more than 12,000 reseller partners across Australia and New Zealand. Its financial year ends on 31 December.

Latest development

The share price information above is reported separately from the Acquisition announcement. On 6 October 2026 Dicker Data announced a binding agreement to acquire 100% of Sektor Group Ltd, an Asia-Pacific distributor of point-of-sale and enterprise mobility technologies, cybersecurity, physical security and specialised infrastructure solutions. Sektor was established in 2009, employs about 230 people and operates in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Malaysia.

The total consideration is NZ$138.0 million (about A$111.8 million) on a cash-free, debt-free, normalised Working Capital basis, funded by extending Dicker Data’s existing Debt facilities. Dicker Data said the transaction is expected to be Earnings accretive in FY26, excluding one-off transaction and integration costs, and that completion is expected by the end of October 2026, giving two months’ contribution to the year ending 31 December 2026. It is subject to standard conditions and regulatory approvals.

For the twelve months to 31 August 2026, Sektor had gross Revenue of NZ$440 million and unaudited normalised pre-AASB16 EBITDA of NZ$22.7 million. Dicker Data is targeting annualised, post-integration pre-AASB16 EBITDA of about NZ$28 million to NZ$32 million, before one-off costs. The company cited an estimated US$647 billion Asia-Pacific ICT market and a point-of-sale and automatic identification market of about A$1 billion in Australia and New Zealand, and said about 60 Sektor employees work in Thailand and Malaysia.

Sector context

Technology distributors earn margins on Volume and rely on vendor relationships and reseller networks, so acquisitions that add vendors, categories or regions are a common growth route. Cybersecurity and physical security have become larger categories within IT distribution as organisations spend more on protection.

Expansion into Asian markets exposes an Australian-listed distributor to local competition and currency movements.

Risks

The acquisition is subject to conditions and regulatory approvals and is to be funded by debt, which raises borrowing levels. Integration of a Business operating across four countries involves execution risk, and Dicker Data’s own estimate of post-integration EBITDA is a target rather than a result.

Sektor’s EBITDA relative to gross revenue is modest at about 5% of revenue, so margins depend on mix and volume. The stock is up approximately 43.71% over a year, and it fell 0.79% on 20 October 2026.

Share price movements add a separate layer of uncertainty. The stock’s one-day move of -0.79% on 20 October 2026 and its 12-month change of approximately +43.71% show how far the share price can move, and past movements do not indicate future direction.

Catalysts to watch

Items to watch include completion of the Sektor acquisition by the end of October 2026, the contribution of two months of Sektor earnings to FY26, integration progress in Thailand and Malaysia and the EBITDA target of NZ$28 million to NZ$32 million.
