Dis-Chem posts 9% profit gain as retail recovers in South Africa and store network expands.
Dis-Chem Pharmacies, one of South Africa’s leading retail pharmacy chains, announced a 9% rise in half-year earnings, driven by higher consumer retail activity and expansion of store network. The company said same-store sales grew in both metropolitan and regional cities, though margin pressure remains due to input-cost inflation. Dis-Chem flagged ongoing investment in digital health services and brand extensions to support growth into adjacent segments such as wellness and online-pharmacy channels.
