Sigh - I see, petrol up, interest rates up, consumer fears up, retail down. Right?
What I don't understand is - why will all of these things hit the Warehouse group fully and unprotected, while HLG (if I believe the tune in the respective thread) will do amazingly? It is the same consumers, just that HLG has as well huge Australia (Omicron) exposure ... maybe Omicron is really good for retail?
What I don't understand either ... why are companies like Turners and Colonial doing so nicely - are they not dependent on the same consumer dollar? Are consumers keeping their e-bike dollars (Torpedo 7) back while they spend like crazy for their next preloved car from TNR?
Still more difficult to understand is why companies like AIR and THL are doing so fantastically given subdued consume and no travel likely over the next year either.
It is just all a bit confusing, isn't it? But maybe everybody just seeing the thing they want to see ...
They may not be out and about for long but.. but... a 35 to 40 percent hit to ebit ?
The longer the summer goes on with no Bug about the lower the retail spend should be except buckets, spades and sun block.

Country is out doors for sure.
Lets see the detail in the AUDITED reports.
BP - punters will still spend but spending may be rather subdued
Retailers (TWG included) hate it when sales are even 'flat', let alone declining..... they moan and groan etc etc. Flat sales usually mean profits down
Don't forget that this century total retail sales have never declined on an annual basis so we'll be OK .... profits might be down though
