    The Turners Automotive Group Ltd (ASX: TRA) share price is in focus today after releasing its FY26 results, with revenue climbing 9% to $451.2 million and a record full-year dividend of 33.0 cents per share, up 14%.

    What did Turners Automotive Group report?

    • Revenue rose 9% to $451.2 million in FY26.
    • Normalised EBIT increased 14% to $70.6 million.
    • Normalised NPAT jumped 18% to $45.6 million (excluding one-off intangible impairments).
    • Reported NPAT was $38.2 million, down 1%, reflecting a $7.5 million impairment in the credit management division.
    • Final dividend declared at 9.0 cents per share, bringing the full year total to 33.0 cents, up 14% and fully imputed.
    • Shareholders’ equity stood at $318 million as at 31 March 2026.

    What else do investors need to know?

    Turners delivered another record profit in a tough consumer environment, lifted by strong gains in its auto retail, finance, and insurance divisions. The group’s funding position improved, with a $200 million securitisation facility and expanded banking lines providing additional firepower for growth and branch expansion.

    Ongoing economic headwinds, including higher fuel prices and the Middle East conflict, slowed the New Zealand automotive market late in FY26. However, the company’s diversified portfolio and disciplined management of stock, margins, and credit quality helped offset these pressures.

    What’s next for Turners Automotive Group?

    Turners is targeting $65 million normalised NPBT in FY27 and remains committed to its longer-term ambition of $100 million by FY31. The company plans further expansion of its auto retail network, underpinned by a strong balance sheet and stable funding.

    While short-term challenges persist, management remains confident in its strategy and expects diversified earnings streams—from finance, insurance, and auto services—to provide resilience as the market recovers.

  • Breville Group shares in focus after record FY26 earnings

    The Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG) share price is in focus after the company reported record full-year sales of $1.8 billion and delivered EBIT in line with guidance for FY26.

    What did Breville Group report?

    • Revenue: $1,810.9 million, up 6.7% from FY25
    • EBITDA: $284.1 million, up 4.5%
    • Net profit after tax (NPAT): $138.1 million, up 1.7%
    • EBIT: $207.0 million, up 1.2%
    • Final dividend: 19.0 cents per share, bringing full-year dividend to 38.0 cents, up 2.7% (100% franked)
    • Net cash: $104.4 million at 30 June 2026

    What else do investors need to know?

    Breville completed its manufacturing diversification program, with 85% of 120-volt product gross profit now sourced outside China. This shift reduced company exposure to supply chain risks and US tariffs, which remained volatile during the year.

    Growth in new markets stood out, with China, Korea, Mexico, and the Middle East together posting revenue gains above 70%. The company’s investment in new products, solutions, and technology services increased to 14.4% of revenue.

    Strong underlying cash flow supported a healthy net cash position at year end. Gross margins recovered in the second half, led by improved US sourcing.

    What did Breville Group management say?

    Breville’s managing director and CEO, Jim Clayton, said:

    FY26 tested the business on every front: We transformed our manufacturing footprint, grew revenue to a record $1.8 billion, and delivered EBIT in line with budget and guidance, in a year when US tariffs restructured four times and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted global supply chains. That is a result the team can be proud of… We enter FY27 better positioned than we have ever been. What we built this year will outlast the conditions that tested it.

    What’s next for Breville Group?

    Heading into FY27, Breville expects continued robust demand for premium products, but notes that supply chain disruption and fluctuating tariffs, especially in the US, remain potential headwinds. With manufacturing diversification largely complete, the company enters the new year well placed to adapt as needed.

    Planned investment will focus on growth assets and elevated inventory as Breville continues expanding in new geographies and further develops its technology offerings. The company intends to provide more detailed guidance at its 1H27 results.

    The Breville share price has been out of form over the past 12 months. During this time, it has underperformed the S&P/ASX 200 index (ASX: XJO) with a decline of 8%.
