Delivered growth across all segments: Super Retail Group Ltd (ASX: SUL) delivered growth across all of its segments in the first half of 2016, wherein its Auto, Leisure and Sports Divisions sales rose by 6.1%, 4.1% and 7.2% respectively. Auto and Sports Divisions EBIT rose by 10.2% and 9.5% respectively. However, Leisure Division EBIT fell 40% due to stock clearance, rising sourcing costs and competition pressure. Moreover, the group incurred over $20 million non-cash impairment charges due to weak performance of old format of Ray’s stores. SUL is investing over $3.9 million for enhancing its digital capabilities. Therefore, SUL stock fell over 25.31% during this year to date (as of March 24, 2016).
Long term targets (Source: Company Reports)
On the other hand, Super Retail is investing over $53 million for opening new stores as well as refurbishing existing stores to drive its long term performance, as these stores perform better than the old format stores. SUL also enhanced its working capital management by improving its operating cash flow by 26% to $177 million during first half. Accordingly, we give a “Speculative buy” recommendation on this fully franked dividend yield stock at the current price of $8.50
