  • Premier Investments Halves Decline with Steady Profits, Dividend Boost
    March 20, 2026, 1:30 AM EDT. Premier Investments reported steady first-half profits of nearly $102 million despite softer sales. Total revenue rose 3% to about $480 million, but Smiggle's sales fell amid weak discretionary spending and rising interest rates squeezing younger consumers. The company declared a fully franked interim dividend of 45 cents per share, contrasting with no payout last year. Premier's share price gained on dividend news and a share buyback plan. Facing market challenges, the retailer is restructuring Smiggle to better appeal to children aged 6 to 12 and benefits from its stake in Breville Group, enhancing diversification. Investors remain watchful for potential acquisitions supported by Premier's strong balance sheet.
