In a trading update dated September 14, 2026, Sharedata reported 11.90 percent revenue growth for the ten months ended July 31, 2026, putting earnings guidance at the center of the investment case.
Revenue growth meets a tougher base
Revenue from continuing operations reached ZAR 89.2 billion in the ten-month period, an increase of 11.90 percent from the comparable period. Excluding acquisitions, growth was 7.30 percent, while comparable-period revenue increased 12.30 percent, according to Sharedata.
The operating mix provides a useful counterweight to the headline number. Clothing and general merchandise revenue rose 10.40 percent to ZAR 63.827 billion, while furniture, appliances and electronics revenue increased 16.30 percent to ZAR 12.308 billion during the same period, the trading update said.
Guidance flags slower earnings growth
Pepkor expects continuing-operations earnings per share for fiscal 2026 to range from ZAc 149.30 to ZAc 164.60, compared with ZAc 153.00 in fiscal 2025. That implies a change of minus 2.00 percent to plus 8.00 percent, as reported by Sharedata.
Continuing-operations headline earnings per share are guided at ZAc 158.90 to ZAc 174.90, versus ZAc 160.30 in fiscal 2025. The board also retained medium-term headline earnings per share growth guidance of 10.00 percent to 15.00 percent for fiscal 2027 and beyond, while citing a subdued retail environment, a high comparison base and investment in the PlusB banking platform.
