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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
