§Winston Score History

The full picture

JB Hi-Fi is Australia's largest consumer electronics retailer. It sells laptops, phones, TVs, gaming products, audio gear, and home appliances through hundreds of stores across Australia and New Zealand. The company also operates The Good Guys chain, which focuses on home appliances and kitchen products.

JB Hi-Fi makes money by selling products in physical stores and online, earning thin margins on high volumes. It operates over 300 stores and has built a strong competitive position through low prices, high brand recognition, and efficient operations, reflected in a return on invested capital above 20%. The main growth drivers include online sales expansion and the ongoing replacement cycle for consumer electronics, though the business is sensitive to consumer spending trends and economic slowdowns in Australia.
