JB Hi-Fi (ASX: JBH) $71.02

JBH and a number of other discretionary retail stocks were under pressure yesterday following the Fair Work Commission’s decision to lift minimum and award wages by 4.75% from 1 July. The move impacts around 2.8 million workers and has clear implications for labour-intensive sectors such as retail, hospitality and services.

JB Hi-Fi (JBH) $72.98

JBH -6.28%: was hit today after its March quarter update missed expectations, with the Australian business delivering positive but underwhelming comparable sales growth. The result was not bad in absolute terms, JB Australia and The Good Guys are still growing in a tougher retail backdrop, but the market was positioned for better, particularly given the stock’s recent bounce from the lows. The bigger concern for us was around margin pressure, with management calling out supplier cost inflation, stock shortages and heightened competition across technology categories going into an important sales period pre-June 30.

JB Hi-Fi Ltd (JBH) $75.59

We covered JBH after their 1H result last month Here. While we admire JBH as a business we remained on the sidelines during its “certainty trade” blow off top around $120 and during most of its subsequent 40% pullback, but we believe the stock now looks appealing from a risk/reward perspective, finally trading back around its long term average valuation, and ~20% below its 2-year average. This is a great example of how stocks go in and out of favour while nothing operationally changes while in this case an economic slowdown and higher interest rates already look priced in.

JB Hi-Fi (JBH) $82.40

JBH +7.46%: A solid 1H result, with earnings in line with expectations and the business continuing to execute well in a competitive retail environment. While January trading was softer (+2.4%) and management struck a cautious tone, the market had already priced in plenty of bad news after the stock’s recent pullback.

JB Hi-Fi (JBH) $90.77

JBH has been smacked in the second half of 2025 as the “Certainty Trade” unwound, and investors finally paid some attention to valuations. Weakness accelerated from late October following its first-quarter update, which came in broadly in line with expectations, but the underlying message was one of resilience rather than acceleration, i.e. a continuation of solid, mature growth rather than anything to excite investors who had pushed the stock's valuation into realms of strong growth.

JBH -4.47%: delivered a steady first-quarter update, broadly in line with expectations, though the underlying message was one of resilience rather than acceleration i.e. a continuation of solid, mature growth rather than anything to excite investors – and when the stock is trading on 24x, it’s easy to understand why the market wanted more…

JB Hi-Fi (JBH) $107.83

JBH –8.39% delivered a solid FY25 result with earnings coming in ahead of expectations, though a management change spooked the market which was well-positioned for a beat, so simply meeting expectations wasn’t enough with the stock selling off as much as ~10% through the session.

JB Hi-Fi Ltd (JBH) $110.35

JBH rallied almost 20% in FY25 and has more than doubled in the last 18 months - fortunately, we enjoyed some of the move but, like many, underestimated how much the elastic band would stretch.
