Wesfarmers chairman Bob Every has told the group’s annual meeting that its total shareholder return has significantly outperformed the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 over the last decade. MD Richard Goyder said the conglomerate’s retail operations have generally performed well so far in 2014-15, particularly the Coles and Bunnings businesses. Goyder also downplayed speculation that the cashed-up group could pursue acquisitions. Wesfarmers shares closed $A0.79 lower at $A42.10
