How did Wesfarmers perform in FY 2022?
The Wesfarmers share price has been seesawing lately despite the company posting a strong second-half performance.
As reported by my Motley Fool colleague Brooke Cooper, Wesfarmers delivered an 8.5% increase in revenue to $36.8 billion. This came on the back of the company's strong recovery from COVID-19 lockdowns and absenteeism in the first half of FY 2022.
On the bottom line, Wesfarmers experienced a slight fall of 1.2% in net profit after tax (NPAT) to $2.35 billion.
Subsequently, the board opted to declare a fully franked final dividend of $1 per share which was 11.1% higher than the prior corresponding period.
On the day of the results, Wesfarmers shares dipped 1.15% to finish at $47.40.
Are Wesfarmers shares a buy?
One broker weighed in on the company's shares following the release of its full-year results.
The team at Goldman Sachs stated that Wesfarmers' performance showed growth headwinds amidst higher investments.
In that respect, the broker stated the following:
We change our FY23/24 NPAT by 2.0% and 1.7% respectively to factor in the stronger results and updated outlook.
Goldman Sachs rolled forward its valuation to be based on FY 2024 estimates and increased its Wesfarmers share price target to $38.90 apiece. Based on the current share price, this implies a downside of 16.7% for investors.
Furthermore, its analysts reiterated a sell rating on Wesfarmers shares.
