Analyst projections of the future price of Marks & Spencer Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Food sales rose 7% in 2025/26 and its UK market share reached 4.1%, with more shoppers choosing M&S. That gives the group a growing core business to build on. (Marks & Spencer)
After the cyber disruption dragged down full-year earnings, adjusted profit grew 4.1% in the second half. M&S expects profit in 2026/27 to exceed its 2024/25 level, leaving scope for a strong rebound if trading normalises. (Reuters)
M&S ended 2025/26 with £338.2m of net funds, and its finance chief said it expects to be able both to invest and increase shareholder returns in coming years. That financial flexibility could support investment in growth while improving potential returns to investors. (Reuters)
Fashion, Home & Beauty remains a weak spot: analysts said in September that the division was still recovering from disrupted systems and a lack of new products. Its sales fell 7.7% in 2025/26 and operating profit more than halved. (The Grocer, Marks & Spencer)
Food growth has not yet translated into higher operating profit: sales rose 7%, but food operating profit fell 9.6% and its margin narrowed to 4.6%. This leaves less room to absorb further costs or invest in lower prices. (Marks & Spencer)
Management warned that higher fuel, freight and input costs, alongside government levies and regulatory pressures, would weigh on the current year. If cost savings and buying improvements do not offset them, profit recovery could be weaker than forecast. (Reuters)
