Revenue growth — H1 F2022 to H1 F2026
A compelling investment case
Since listing on the JSE in 2016, Bidcorp has delivered consistent, compounding value — 10% HEPS CAGR, 19% dividend CAGR, and R21,7 billion paid in dividends to date.
Five structural reasons Bidcorp has compounded value consistently since its 2016 JSE listing — and why the fundamentals remain intact.
Track record
Consistent compounding growth
A nine-year track record of disciplined value creation
- Revenue compounded at 8,9% annually since the 2016 JSE listing, reaching R235,6bn in F2025.
- HEPS grew at 10% CAGR — earnings are 138% larger than at listing, with trading margin improving from 3,66% to 5,5% over the same period.
HEPS — F2016 to F2025
Competitive advantage
Decentralised model
Local expertise. Global scale. Built-in resilience
- Each operating company retains its Own Brand identity, local leadership and local decision-making — creating the customer intimacy of a specialist at the scale of a global group.
- Diversification across four divisions and 31 countries means no single geography or macro event derails group performance, demonstrated through multiple currency cycles.
Revenue by division — H1 F2026
Balance sheet strength
Conservative capital, exceptional returns
Capital discipline as a competitive moat
- ROFE of 53,5% in H1 F2026 — grown by 600 basis points since listing, reflecting management's effectiveness in generating returns while growing the group.
- Net debt/EBITDA of 0,5x against a 2,5x covenant, with EBITDA interest cover of 23,7x against a 5x covenant — substantial headroom for acquisitions and capital returns.
Return on Funds Employed (%)
Shareholder returns
Progressive dividends

- Dividend policy of 2,5x HEPS cover provides predictability for income-focused investors, with payouts growing in line with normalised earnings.

Growth engine
Disciplined acquisitions
Bolt-on growth, deployed with discipline
