Market Alert: Fed Cut Hopes Lift ASX After Rough Week
Metcash Limited (ASX: MTS) held its 2025 Annual General Meeting, presenting a strong performance overview and strategic progress. Group revenue rose 7.2% to AU$19.5 billion, with EBIT up 2.3% to AU$507.8 million, supported by resilient results in the Food pillar and strong Liquor market share gains, though Hardware remained impacted by subdued trade activity. Profit after tax increased 10.1% to AU$283.3 million, while operating cash flow grew 11.7% to AU$539 million, reflecting disciplined working capital management.
Key highlights included mergers to strengthen business units, leadership changes, and board renewals to support future growth. Metcash also advanced its ESG commitments, reducing emissions, improving workplace diversity, and achieving gender-neutral pay. With organisational restructuring, an expanded value chain strategy, and a capable leadership team, Metcash remains well positioned to drive long-term growth, margin expansion, and shareholder value while continuing to champion independent retailers and local communities.
