Sigma Healthcare Reports 12.1% Sales Growth at Chemist Warehouse Australian Stores

Sigma Healthcare Ltd (SIG.AX) said Wednesday that sales at its Chemist Warehouse-branded Australian stores rose 12.1% for the period from July 1 to October 16, with like-for-like sales up 9.8%. International sales grew 30.2% in the three months ended September 30, while like-for-like sales rose 15.8%. The company said discretionary product sales remain subdued amid cost-of-living pressures, though beauty, healthcare and GLP-1 treatment products performed strongly. Sigma expects double-digit sales growth at CW-branded stores through the rest of the first half and remains on track to onboard 14 Chemist Warehouse and 42 Amcal and Discount Drug Stores in Australia, plus 19 international locations. It also anticipates oral GLP-1 formulations entering the market in the second half of fiscal 2027. Shares closed Wednesday's trading 2.83% lower at A$2.750 on the ASX.
