DFI expects 11–15% profit CAGR through 2028

It also raised its dividend payout ratio to 70%.

DFI Retail Group Holdings Limited announced that it forecasts underlying profit to grow at a compound annual rate of 11–15% through 2028, with an objective to reach $401.62-453.44m (US$310–350m).

The company also introduced a new dividend policy, raising its payout ratio to 70% from 60%, effective from the final dividend of 2025.

The three-year plan is supported by initiatives to increase store sales density, expand the Health & Beauty and Convenience store network via a capex-light franchise model, and accelerate brand innovation to strengthen customer margins.

DFI aims to grow organic subsidiaries revenue by 2–3% annually through 2028, whilst driving online sales penetration to 7–10%. The company also expects to improve return on capital employed to at least 15% by 2028, supported by capital allocation and operational efficiencies.

According to Group Chief Executive Scott Price, DFI’s portfolio and omnichannel capabilities was positioned to meet rising demand for quality and convenience across Asia.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
