COVID-19 restrictions haven’t equated to tough financial times for everyone.

Some retailers have benefited from coronavirus spending and recording record share prices.

The Reject Shop’s share price jumped above $7 yesterday, its highest level in two years and an enormous increase from its March low of $2.40.

Harvey Norman’s sales to the end of May are up 17.5 per cent, with its share price jumping almost 8 per cent yesterday.

Wesfarmers might be closing many Target stores, but they appear to be one of the biggest beneficiaries from the pandemic, closing up 5 per cent yesterday

Sales at Bunnings are up 19 per cent, and at Officeworks sales are up 28 per cent.

The figures come as consumer sentiment surveys start to rebound.
