Kingfisher reported fiscal first-half results broadly ahead of company-compiled consensus expectations and raised its full-year guidance for adjusted profit before tax by 3.3% at the midpoint. Growth in Screwfix, Poland, and Iberia more than offset weaker B&Q and French sales.
Kingfisher has a long runway for online penetration (18% of sales in fiscal 2025).
Unlike in the US, Europe’s home improvement and gardening retail market is not conducive to generating economic profits.
