SGH Limited (ISIN AU0000364754) was trading at AUD 37.70 on the ASX on October 7, 2026, with a market capitalization of AUD 15.3 billion. The latest company figures show FY26 margin improvement, but FY27 guidance points to flat to low-single-digit EBIT growth, according to Kapitales Research on August 11, 2026.

FY26 margin improved to 14.7 percent

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, revenue from continuing operations fell from AUD 10.74 billion to AUD 10.56 billion, a 1.7 percent decline. At the same time, underlying EBITDA increased 2 percent to AUD 2.08 billion and underlying EBIT rose 1 percent to AUD 1.55 billion, according to Kapitales Research.

The underlying EBIT margin reached 14.7 percent, compared with 14.3 percent in FY25. The combination of lower revenue and higher operating profit makes margin protection the key operating feature of the latest report.

Cash flow supports capital returns

Underlying operating cash flow reached AUD 2.07 billion in FY26, equal to 99 percent EBITDA cash conversion. Closing net debt fell by AUD 515 million to AUD 3.67 billion, while adjusted leverage declined from 2.0 times to 1.8 times, Kapitales Research reported.

SGH also has a dated shareholder cash return ahead. Intelligent Investor lists a fully franked final dividend of AUD 0.32 per share for payment on October 9, 2026.
