Shares in Breville Group (ASX: BRG) have jumped more than 12 per cent after it announced its full-year profit rose 8.7 per cent to $58.5 million.

Breville has declared a partially franked final dividend of 16.5 cents per share

The company's North American business was its star performer - growing 16.3 per cent on a constant currency basis to $303.6 million - in part due to the extension of its partnership with Nespresso in the region.

The agreement, which is already in place in Australia, allows Breville to sell co-branded Nespresso coffee machines.

Australia and New Zealand revenue grew 9.1 per cent to $123.9 million, despite the "somewhat challenged retail environment".

At the close yesterday, Breville's shares were up $1.45, or 12.46 per cent, to $13.09.

Morningstar analyst Daniel Ragonese has raised his fair value estimate by $1 to $10 but still maintains the company is overvalued.

"Despite the increase in our fair value estimate, shares in Breville remain overvalued. Breville shares currently trade at around 26 times fiscal 2019 EPS, which we believe assumes global product revenue and group earnings increase by almost 20 per cent on average for at least the next five years,” Ragonese says.

"This is an unlikely outcome, given the high-single-digit earnings growth generated during the past three years on average.

Breville, which counts Solomon Lew's Premier Investments as a key investor, plans to enter Belgium, Germany the Netherlands and Luxembourg in the 2018/19 financial year, as well as launch a new pizza oven in the US during the holiday period.

The company declared a partially franked final dividend of 16.5 cents per share, up 1.5 cents from a year earlier.

Breville cooks up full-year profit:

  • Net profit up 8.7pct to $58.5m
  • Revenue up 7.7pct to $652.3m
  • Final dividend up 1.5 cents to 16.5 cents, partially franked
