Wesfarmers stock holds near its 52-week high
Published on 09/20/2026 at 20:05 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSWesfarmers stock (ISIN AU000000WES1) closed at AUD 85.41 on September 19, 2026, leaving the company valued at AUD 97.44 billion after a 52-week range of AUD 55.60 to AUD 85.95. Fiscal 2025 revenue was AUD 45.9 billion and EBIT reached AUD 2.93 billion, a year-on-year decline from AUD 46.8 billion and AUD 3.11 billion in fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2025 still sets the frame
According to Wesfarmers, the company reported fiscal 2025 revenue of AUD 45.9 billion, EBIT of AUD 2.93 billion and net profit after tax before significant items of AUD 2.65 billion. That compares with fiscal 2024 revenue of AUD 46.8 billion and EBIT of AUD 3.11 billion, so both top line and operating profit eased in the latest full-year report.
For investors, the margin is now the key number. On the company figures, EBIT margin worked out to 6.4 percent in fiscal 2025 versus 6.6 percent in fiscal 2024, which shows a small but measurable squeeze.
Market value near record ground
The share price sat just 0.5 percent below the 52-week high on September 19, 2026, while the gap to the low was 53.7 percent. That pricing leaves little room for disappointment if retail trading or resources exposure cools.
Wesfarmers' market capitalization of AUD 97.44 billion on September 19, 2026 underlines how much expectation is already embedded in the stock. The move from AUD 55.60 at the low to AUD 85.41 at the close is a gain of 53.7 percent across the range.
Next dates matter
The next visible catalyst is the company's annual reporting calendar, because the last published full-year numbers already anchor the valuation story. Wesfarmers stock is therefore trading on expectations as much as on history, with fiscal 2025 still the most recent hard operating reference point.
