Lewis Group Limited Lewis Group Limited (JSE: LEW), founded in 1934 and headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, operates as a leading South Africa-based retailer of household furniture, home appliances, electronic goods, and homewares across Southern Africa. The company retails a broad range of products through its flagship brands, including lounge, dining room, and bedroom furniture; electrical appliances; sound and vision equipment; bedding; and home electronics, offered under the Lewis, Best Home and Electric, United Furniture Outlets (UFO), Beares, Bedzone, and Real Beds labels; it also provides microinsurance to credit customers via its Monarch Insurance arm. With approximately 10,250 employees, Lewis Group Limited serves customers primarily in the LSM 4-7 income segments through a network of around 958 stores located in South Africa (accounting for 85% of sales), Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, and Namibia. In recent developments, the company acquired the trading assets and liabilities of Real Beds, a bedding specialist, effective June 29, 2024, enabling rapid expansion with 28 new Real Beds outlets opened in the first half of fiscal 2026 to grow that brand to 44 stores overall, as part of a record net addition of 40 stores during the period and plans for 15-20 more in the second half, primarily in specialist bedding. This store growth strategy, alongside a 14% increase in its debtors book to R8.5 billion and merchandise sales up 6.7% to R2.5 billion, drove a 21.4% rise in operating profit to R522 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, despite constrained trading conditions, with management declaring a 12.3% higher interim dividend of 337 cents per share.
