what happened
According to TradingView, citing dpa-AFX and RTTNews, retailer Next Plc raised full price sales by 8.1% year on year over the thirteen weeks to 31 October. UK growth slowed to 2.0% from the first half, in line with the company's own guidance. International sales rose 32.2%.
For the fourth quarter Next kept its full price sales growth forecast at 5.8%, with UK full price sales expected to rise 2.0%. The company expects international growth to moderate. For the 2026/27 financial year it lifted total Group sales including markdown and investments to 7.54 billion pounds from 7.49 billion, and full price sales to 6.03 billion pounds from 6.00 billion. Profit before tax guidance stayed at 1.255 billion pounds. The shares traded at 15,665.00 pence on the LSE, up 0.38%.
why it matters
The key point for markets is that Next raised its full-year sales outlook while leaving its profit target untouched. This points to resilient demand in UK retail, but the slowdown in UK growth and the expected moderation overseas are factors investors will keep watching.
