The 2025 festive season is shaping up as a good one for consumers. They are opening their wallets and buying bargains. The challenge for retailers is the spend is not evenly distributed. Consumers bought more in November and may buy less in December. We have had positive sales feedback for furniture, auto and online and expect these to do well over 1H26e. At the other end of the spectrum, we have had weak sales feedback on footwear and liquor. The challenge for electronics is lapping incredibly good growth from November and December 2024. Using Visible Alpha consensus as the reference point, we see downside risk to sales for JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman and Endeavour. Retail has been more promotional and 1H26e risks to gross margin also exist. At EPS, we see downside risk for Accent, JB Hi-Fi, Endeavour Group and Myer. For those wanting a more light-hearted take, further down we have our Christmas gift ideas.
