Are we talking the same company? the dividends have been good for years!!! See below. Whats disappointing about those? Also its a long bow that would extrapolate that this is some sort of macro of the NZ economy. WHS has way exceeded many others. Its good for WHS but generally retail is a not a sector to be invested in as a "everyone a winner" scenario. As a general indicator of where NZ is going unfortunately its a double edged sword.... WHS is appealing to the budget minded shopper. So WHS sales up...whoops NZ disposable income has dropped.

I read turmeric's comment in the sense of WHS' recently improving results auguring well for the retail trade and for the NZ economy in general. Briscoe's result would tend to bear this out, although that company has been a top performer in both good and difficult conditions.

Same store growth is poor.Real growth is coming from on line sales.
Briscoes are finding the same.
Postie Plus would appear to have lost market share to WHS.

I might agree if there was any sustained evidence stretching over a number of years...but all the buzz I hear and see about retailing is its very, very difficult and has been for several years. Most of my customers are retailing and again very few are doing anything other than making ends meet. Major problem facing retailers generally is rising rents and expenses and static sales especially in main st and mall locations. Briscoes Group has done well but my guess is that its on the back of Rebel Sports and not Briscoes or Living and giving or whatever they are called. Every time I have been into Briscoes its a deserted cavern. Successfull retailing in my opinion will be those that can control their rents by owning and lease-backs and incorporating online sales. Retail as a sector for investing needs very carefull selection.

There are too many variables too compare re your GFC point. Firstly they were not getting any online sales at that point. Secondly if WHS sales did fall how do you know disposable income didnt go up? Maybe it went onto pay mortgages, holidays, repay loans etc. etc. Its hard to measure...is there any measure? My comments were based on calculated but unprovable common sense. That is ...any given day people will buy x number of shoes, hammers etc. If they have less money in their pocket they will buy the cheaper (WHS) option. If they have more available they will buy a better quality "brand name" thereby spending more.

I recall WHS sales falling quite a lot during the GFC so the reciprocal of your argument would suggest NZ disposable income must have gone up, which wasn't the case. Maybe I am misinterpreting what you are saying though?
And yes my comment was intended macduffy says "recently improving results auguring well for the retail trade and for the NZ economy in general."
Hope that all makes sense I am in a hurry so havent had time to read this and think this over too carefully.

Not so in the latest year. Briscoes and L&G stores EBIT rose 12%, Rebel Sport 13%, ie spread across the whole group.
Interesting too that while their online business is thriving, they are planning a 30% increase to floor space of the main Wellington store.
Apologies
Meant for the BGR thread

Food for thought. Morninstar now have a sell on WHS and valuation of $3! Don't know how their highly qualified and paid analysts come to that conclusion. Any views?

Struth!!???? We both live in Wellington and I would state the opposite! They are always busy when I visit. That said I usually go when they are having a sale...which should mean they are always busy!

HAh...two realities...both correct but totally diverging..reminds me of that old Sci Fi show "Twilight Zone". Maybe going in at different time portals? The time between sales is getting shorter and shorter and the amount off is always up to 30%. I never go for sales so thats probably why its deserted
