About Metcash Ltd

Metcash is an Australian wholesale distribution and marketing company based in Sydney. It supplies independent grocery retailers, including IGA supermarkets, with food and everyday products, and runs a hardware distribution business serving independent hardware stores. It also operates a liquor wholesale arm that supplies bottleshops and hospitality customers. The company acts as a wholesaler and support partner to independently owned retailers rather than operating its own store network.

The shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in Australia under the code MTS, and the price on this page is in Australian dollars (AUD). Our dividend records, which start in 2019, show payments in 8 different calendar years. The Market X-Ray on this page is price-based and compares it with other stocks on the same exchange; it does not measure how healthy the business is.

It describes how this stock has traded: trend, momentum, risk, liquidity and dividends, each ranked against the other stocks on its own exchange. It does not measure how healthy or cheap the business is. That fundamental X-Ray needs financial statements, which we do not have for Australia yet.

Oscillators use the usual thresholds (RSI 30/70, Stochastic 20/80, CCI ±100, Williams %R −80/−20; MACD and momentum above zero are bullish). Weekly and monthly views use closing prices only.
