Brambles Cuts FY26 Outlook After US Setbacks Unveils US$400 Million Share Buyback Brambles cut its FY26 earnings and sales growth guidance after operational issues in its US subcontracted service centre network led to an estimated US$60 million earnings impact.
The company cited labour shortages, subcontractor turnover and higher pallet quality requirements as key constraints that affected its ability to support customers moving to automated handling systems.
Brambles plans to expand repair capacity, increase pallet relocations and buy new pallets to restore service levels, while also launching a US$400 million on-market share buyback and maintaining its existing dividend policy and FY28 margin expansion target.
The update points to a period of higher operating complexity and investment in the US, while management signals confidence in cash generation and balance sheet strength through the buyback and stable dividend approach.
A key risk to watch is the timing and execution of the US capacity fix, given management’s expectation that service issues are addressed by the end of the first half of FY27. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • May 18
