Wesfarmers is trading 4.3% down now at A$79.69 after its August 27, 2026 FY26 results failed to satisfy investors seeking stronger forward guidance, while management warned elevated operating costs would remain a FY27 headwind.

  • Underlying profit rose 8.3%, revenue increased 3.4%, and the dividend reached A$2.22 per share.
  • Mixed divisional results, including weaker Officeworks earnings, added to the disappointment.
