JB Hi-Fi (JBH) 1H22 result

Does it stay stronger for longer?

Published: 14 February 2022

JB Hi Fi reported a good 1H22 result given the very elevated base from the prior corresponding half. Given its update in mid-January 2022, the new insights from the release showed solid January 2022 sales trends and a good gross margin result in The Good Guys. We expect stable sales and continued healthy gross margins to result in a fade in earnings rather than a fall off the cliff over the next two years. JB Hi-Fi also announced an off-market buyback of $250 million. We expect the company to continue holding a net cash position at the end of FY22e even after the buyback.
