Universal Store Holdings (UNI) $8.61

With the RBA hiking interest rates yesterday to cool inflation, a natural impact will be felt by the retailers who may suffer from less discretionary fire power from consumers, but not all consumers will be impacted to the same degree. One of the more encouraging signals coming out of recent consumer data is the resilience of the youth cohort. While the broader Australian consumer continues to navigate cost-of-living pressures, spending intentions among 18–34 year olds remain above the average consumer, and importantly for equity investors, skewed towards discretionary categories.

Business Summary

Universal Store Holdings Ltd owns a portfolio of premium youth fashion brands and omnichannel retail and wholesale businesses. The company's principal businesses are Universal Store (trading under the Universal Stores and Perfect Stranger retail banners) and CTC (trading the THRILLS and Worship brands). It operates physical stores across Australia in addition to online channels. It operates in two reportable segments, being Universal Store and CTC of which Universal Store derives the majority of revenue in Australia.
