Temple & Webster Could Reinvest Home-Improvement Revenues -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jul 10, 2025

0137 GMT - There's a good chance that Temple & Webster's group margins could suffer near term if the furniture retailer delivers on its expansion into home improvement, Morgan Stanley analyst James Bales warns. Home improvement is a higher-margin business than the Australian company's core furniture operations, but Bales reckons that early traction would prompt Temple & Webster to increase reinvestment to drive further growth. He tells clients in a note that he anticipates fiscal 2026 sales expectations to rise but margins to fall. He sees this adding to long-term shareholder value. MS has an overweight rating and A$28.00 target price on the stock, which is up 1.0% at A$21.62. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
