Shoprite increased group revenue in the fiscal year to 28 June 2026 by 7.2% to 270.7 billion ZAR and adjusted earnings per share by 12.2% to 15.27 ZAR; operating profit grew by 8.4% to 16.2 billion ZAR. Drivers were margin expansion, cost control and the premium segment Checkers, as well as a 34.7% rise at delivery platform Sixty60 to 25.5 billion ZAR. The company raised the dividend by 11.8%, plans 211 new stores, increased digital and store investments and announced a share buyback program of 5 billion ZAR. Despite the solid metrics, the stock recently fell about 1.6%, reflecting investor caution over valuation issues and the low-inflation environment. » Plus sur de.investing.com
