Metcash's Decision to Merge Hardware Businesses Makes Sense -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

2025/06/11

2230 GMT - Metcash's decision to merge its Independent Hardware Group and Total Tools businesses makes sense to Citi. One reason is that it will enable Metcash to coordinate better across brands. Still, analyst Adrian Lemme was disappointed by the departure of Total Tools CEO Richard Murray. That's a significant loss because of Murray's past success running JB Hi-Fi, which has some similarities to Total Tools, Citi says. "However, we understand the decision considering current IHG CEO Scott Marshall's vast experience across the three Metcash pillars," Citi says. It has a "buy" call on Metcash.
